Enzymatic biotransformation of polystyrene: Interfacial oxidative modification by a serine hydrolase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Polystyrene (PS) is highly resistant to biodegradation, and the enzymatic processes capable of initiating its environmental transformation remain poorly defined. This study investigates the previously underexplored association between a purified serine hydrolase (SH) from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a bacterium isolated fr...
