Nylon-eating bacteria : ウィキペディア英語版 | Nylon-eating bacteria Nylon-eating bacteria are a strain of ''Flavobacterium'' that is capable of digesting certain byproducts of nylon 6 manufacture. This strain of ''Flavobacterium'' sp. KI72, became popularly known as nylon-eating bacteria, and the enzymes used to digest the man-made molecules became collectively known as nylonase. ==Discovery==
In 1975 a team of Japanese scientists discovered a strain of ''Flavobacterium'', living in ponds containing waste water from a nylon factory, that was capable of digesting certain byproducts of nylon 6 manufacture, such as the linear dimer of 6-aminohexanoate. These substances are not known to have existed before the invention of nylon in 1935. Further study revealed that the three enzymes the bacteria were using to digest the byproducts were significantly different from any other enzymes produced by other ''Flavobacterium'' strains (or, for that matter, any other bacteria), and not effective on any material other than the manmade nylon byproducts.
