This study focuses on isolating and characterizing novel polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) depolymerase-producing bacteria to enable efficient PHB biodegradation. PHB is a promising biodegradable alternative to petroleum-based plastics, requires PHB depolymerase to facilitate its effective depolymerization and mineralization in the environment. We identified Janibacter terrae COS4-44 from oil contaminated tidal flat in Taean, Republic of Korea, demonstrating high PHB degradation efficiency via clear zone formation and enzymatic activity. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed increased surface roughness and porosity in degraded PHB films, while Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed the cleavage of ester bonds, indicating enzymatic breakdown. The PHB depolymerase gene was successfully cloned and expressed in E. coli, yielding a functional 58 kDa enzyme. Optimal degradation conditions were 40°C, pH 8.0, and 96 h incubation, with 0.15% PHB concentration. Glucose and yeast extract enhanced enzyme activity, whereas heavy metals like Zn²⁺ and Co²⁺ slightly stimulated depolymerase production. These findings highlight Janibacter terrae COS4-44 as a potent PHB degrader, offering potential for sustainable plastic waste management. Further research on degradation metabolites and enzyme engineering could enhance industrial applications.
