An inventive mechanism: nylon eating bacteria (Evolution)

Spetner's new book describes something I have forgotten. Nylon is new to the world, but there are bacteria that can metabolize nutrients from it after about 20 years from the appearance of nylon. There are at least two species of bacteria that can do it. It involves the development of two enzymes, the same ones in both species. Not new species but new metabolism. IM or did God know nylon was coming? This is I feel an epigenetic IM.
