Enzymatic PET depolymerization: a review of engineering biocatalysts and systems for efficient plastic deconstruction.
The ever-increasing accumulation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste poses a severe threat to global ecosystems and human health. Biological upcycling (integrating enzymatic depolymerization with microbial conversion of the resulting monomers) has emerged as a promising approach to overcome the limitations of tra...
