<i>Epsilon</i>-Caprolactam- and Nylon Oligomer-Degrading Bacterium <i>Brevibacterium epidermidis</i> BS3: Characterization and Potential Use in Bioremediation

<i>epsilon</i>-Caprolactam (Caprolactam, CAP), a monomer of the synthetic non-degradable polymer nylon-6, is the major wastewater component in the production of caprolactam and nylon-6. Biological treatment of CAP, using microbes could be a potent alternative to the current waste utiliza...
