The accumulation of synthetic plastic waste in the environment has become a global
concern. Microbial enzymes (purified or as whole-cell biocatalysts) represent emerging …

Plastic pollution is a global concern due to the long half-life and high resistance of many
synthetic plastics to natural biodegradation. Therefore, great effort is required to avoid …

Using clean and natural energy from the environment to treatment of organic pollutants is a
sustainable approach to alleviate energy and environmental problem. This work prepared a …

Abstract Poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET) is a semi-crystalline plastic polyester material
with a global production volume of 83 Mt/year. PET is mainly used in textiles, but also widely …

The rate response of poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET)‐hydrolases to increased substrate
crystallinity (XC) of PET manifests as a rate‐lowering effect that varies significantly for …

The recently discovered metagenomic-derived polyester hydrolase PHL7 is able to
efficiently degrade amorphous polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in post-consumer plastic …

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a prevalent synthetic polymer that is known to
contaminate marine and terrestrial environments. Currently, only a limited number of PET …

Enzymatic degradation of poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET) has emerged as a promising
route for ecofriendly biodegradation of plastic waste. Several discontinuous activity assays …

Polylactic acid (PLA) is popularly used to replace some petroleum-based polymers due to its
biodegradability. However, biodegradation of waste PLA requires specific bacteria, stringent …

Enzymatic degradation of polyethylene terephthalic acid (PET) has been gaining increasing
importance. This has resulted in a significant increase in the search for newer enzymes and …
