A versatile Bacillus esterase reveals a carboxylesterase blueprint for PET intermediate degradation
The biodegradation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and its derived intermediate breakdown products, represents a core focus of multidisciplinary research. While Ideonella sakaiensis PETase (IsPETase) and leaf-compost cutinase (LCC) efficiently depolymerize PET, many other PET-active hydrolases display stronger act...
