Experimental, Genomic, and Structural Evidence Supporting Putative PET‐Hydrolases in Thermophilic Bacteria Isolated From Hot Springs in Cajamarca, Peru
ABSTRACT Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste represents a major environmental challenge due to limited recycling solutions. Thermophilic bacteria from geothermal environments harbor diverse enzymatic machinery adapted to extreme conditions, offering promising biocatalysts for plastic degradation; however, biological...
