That is impressive. Thanks for sharing it.
At the risk of being overly cynical, why wasn't this discovered earlier?
Was it because prevailing thinking assumed there weren't any natural bacteria which would eat plastic?
Is this a case of someone successfully doing something because he didn't know it couldn't be done? |

Beats me.
And here's a chance for you to shine as well. DARPA is soliciting proposals "in the area of quantum effects in a biological environment. Proposed research should establish beyond any doubt that manifestly quantum effects occur in biology, and demonstrate through simulation proof-of concept experiments that devices that exploit these effects could be developed into biomimetic sensors."
Time for you (or Penrose) to get a grant submitted and get to work!
