Thank you @lepapillonvzla, that sounds very interesting! Were you able to have some success with the PET degrading bacteria? I found some articles that mention a couple strains that produce the necessary enzymes for PET breakdown, such as Ideonella sakaiensis, and cutinase from Fusarium oxysporum that was built into E. Coli.
