Unveiling the potential of bacterial isolates from plastic-polluted environments: enhancement of polyhydroxybutyrate biodegradation

The dataset contains information supporting Figure 7 of the article Unveiling the potential of bacterial isolates from plastic-polluted environments:enhancement of polyhydroxybutyrate biodegradation. It includes raw measurements of PHB film degradation exposed to bacterial isolates, together with control data,and the final graphical figure used in the publication. A readme.txt file accompanies the dataset as metadata file:1. StreptomycesDG19_exposed_PHB.csv Raw triplicate data of PHB degradation (%) and residual weights for Streptomyces sp. DG19 isolate.2. BacillusDG90_exposed_PHB.csv Raw triplicate data of PHB degradation (%) and residual weights for Bacillus sp. DG90 isolate.3. Pristine_PHB_ControlAbiotic.csv Control measurements of abiotic PHB films (no bacterial inoculum), used as baseline.4. FIG7-FTIRPHBFILMSBACTERIALEXPOSUREDG19DG90VSCONTROL.png Final graphical representation of degradation percentages used in the manuscript.5. readme.txt Metadata file describing dataset contents, methods, and variable definitions.
