Polyethylene-degrading bacteria have been emerging as a rational and safe alternative in bioremediation strategies. In this context, some Paenibacillus species produce enzymes involved in the biodegradation of pollutants. Among the enzymes involved in the biodegradation of polyethylene, the alkane hydroxylases, encoded by alkB homologous genes, play a key role in this process. Therefore, this study aimed to identify and perform a genomic investigation of the first polyethylene-degrading Paenibacillus sp. strain, named DK1. The whole-g
