Efficient production of poly(l-lactide)(PLA)-degrading enzyme was achieved by addition of 0.1% (w/v) silk fibroin powder into a liquid culture medium of an actinomycete, Amycolatopsis orientalis, without other complex nitrogen sources, such as yeast extract and peptone. Scaled-up production of the e...
