Abstract excerpt
Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), a widely used plastic around the world, causes various environmental and health problems. Several groups have been extensively conducting research to solve these problems through enzymatic degradation of PET at high temperatures around 70 °C. Recently, Ideonella sakaiensis, a bacterium that degrades PET at mild temperatures, has been newly identified, and further protein...
