AB  - The increasing production and utilization of
synthetic polymers in the textile industry over
the past five decades has raised concerns about
the environmental impact of the industry. The
recalcitrant nature of synthetic fibers hampers
the biodegradation of these textiles in the environment
and leads to the accumulation of textile
waste. Effective solutions for recycling and proper
disposal of textile waste are lacking, however,
the use of microorganisms and enzymes has
emerged as a promising approach. The genus
Streptomyces has been well studied as a producer
of different hydrolytic enzymes, several of which
have found use in industrial settings as well. As
an integral part of the soil microbiome, Streptomyces
species have been shown to interact with
different textile materials in soil and may play a
role in the degradation of these materials. This
study aimed to examine the interaction of Streptomyces
sp. R1, isolated from the rhizosphere of
Cotinus coggygria, with polyamide/polyurethane
textile, and identify potential enzymes involved in the biodegradation of synthetic textiles. The
degradation of the textile was tested in liquid
cultures (minimal salt medium) and model compost,
bio-augmented with Streptomyces sp. R1
for 4 months. After the incubation, morphological,
and changes in the functional groups of the
textiles were analysed using scanning electron
microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared
spectroscopy (FTIR). The surface of the textile
showed noticeable cracks and fissures after
4 months of burial in the bioaugmented model
compost, alongside changes in the functional
groups of the polyamide/polyurethane textile,
which indicates biodegradation of the synthetic
fibers. Searching the genome of Streptomyces sp.
R1, several enzymes involved in the degradation
of synthetic polymers were identified, including
an esterase homologous to highly efficient plastic
degrading depolymerases. Overall, the results
presented here indicate Streptomyces sp. R1 has
the potential for synthetic textile degradation
and bioremediation.
