Functional and genomic insights into BHET-degrading Stenotrophomonas sp. isolated from the marine plastisphere

Enzymatic degradation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) has dramatically advanced through protein engineering of PETase, accelerating the biocatalytic depolymerization process. However, the subsequent microbial valorization of PET-derived intermediates, such as bis (2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (...
