Comment on "A bacterium that degrades and assimilates poly(ethylene terephthalate)".

Yu Yang1, Jun Yang2, Lei Jiang2.   

Abstract

Yoshida et al (Report, 11 March 2016, p. 1196) reported that the bacterium Ideonella sakaiensis 201-F6 can degrade and assimilate poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET). However, the authors exaggerated degradation efficiency using a low-crystallinity PET and presented no straightforward experiments to verify depolymerization and assimilation of PET. Thus, the authors' conclusions are rather misleading.
