摘要
Three bacterial strains have been isolated that differ in their ability to degrade polyethylene glycols (PEGs). Strains R and O showed a marked preference for growth on the low and high molecular weight PEGs, respectively, while strain Z utilized mono‐ethylene glycol only. The partial degradation of PEG 200 by strains R and O was studied in some detail and the results suggested that those components of the mixture that were not utilized were converted into acidic derivatives which accumulated in the medium.
