TL;DR: In this paper, a new bacterium, Ideonella sakaiensis 201-F6, was found to be able to use PET as its major energy and carbon source, producing two enzymes capable of hydrolyzing PET and the reaction intermediate, mono(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalic acid.

TL;DR: Additional PET depolymerization data are provided that further support several other lines of data showing PET assimilation by growing cells of Ideonella sakaiensis and suggest that the use of low-crystallinity poly(ethylene terephthalate) exaggerates the results.
