Aldehyde dehydrogenases for oligo-isoprene aldehyde oxidation in Rhodococcus sp. RDE2

Abstract The microbial degradation of natural rubber (NR), which is mainly composed of cis-1,4-polyisoprene, is a promising sustainable strategy for rubber waste treatment. In rubber-degrading actinomycetes, the polymer is cleaved by the latex-clearing protein (Lcp) into oligo-is...
