This study engineers Pseudomonas putida KT2440 to co-utilize five plastic monomers from mixed plastics, achieving complete substrate depletion and producing (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate.

The paper engineering Pseudomonas putida KT2440 to produce 3-hydroxy fatty acids (3-HFAs) with controlled chain lengths, achieving titers up to 0.73 g/L using a direct route and demonstrating scalability.

The paper introduces a one-plasmid genome editing system for P. putida KT2440, enabling rapid and efficient genome modifications in three days.
