Microbial species produce the storage biopolymer polyhydroxyalkanoate (sPHA), as a carbon and energy source. However, only bacteria and fungi are currently known to degrade microbial sPHAs, using an enzyme called PHA depolymerase (PHAD). This study shows that animals also have a PHAD that can degrad...
