Plastic-Degrading Enzymes from Marine Microorganisms and Their Potential Value in Recycling Technologies

Since the 2005 discovery of the first enzyme capable of depolymerizing polyethylene terephthalate (PET), an aromatic polyester once thought to be enzymatically inert, extensive research has been undertaken to identify and engineer new biocatalysts for plastic degradation. This effort was directed to...
