Abstract excerpt
The rising use of plastic results in an appalling amount of waste which scatters into the environment affecting environmental, animal, and human health. One of these plastics is PET which is mainly used for bottles and textiles. In this research, we investigate the PET degrading ability of the Is PETase homolog Sc LipA from Streptomyces coelicolor.
