Tandem biocatalysis in synthetic microbial consortium: efficient polybutylene adipate terephthalate degradation coupled to polyhydroxybutyrate synthesis.
Polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) is prone to incomplete degradation, leading to environmental pollution and carbon resource waste. Biodegradation and valorization of waste plastics are essential for addressing plastic pollution and promoting a circular economy. Enzymatic degradation offers advantages, but free...
