The extensive production and use of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) have generated an enormous amount plastic waste, which potentially threatens the environment humans. Enzyme biocatalysis is a promising green chemistry alternative, relative to conventional fossil-derived process, achieve waste treatment recycling. In this work, we created biocatalyst, BIND-PETase, by genetically engineering curli Escherichia coli cell with functional PETase enzyme for biocatalytic degradation PET plastics. BIND-PETase could degrade generate products at concentration level greater than 3000 μM under various reaction conditions. effects key parameters, including pH, temperature, substrate mass load, surfactant addition were characterized. was reusable remained stable no significant activity loss when stored both 4 °C room temperature 30 days (Student's t test, p > 0.05). Notably, enable microplastics in wastewater effluent matrix. Moreover, depolymerize highly crystalline postconsumer materials ambient conditions efficiency 9.1% 7 days. This study provides new horizon developing environmentally friendly approaches solve recycling challenge.

Plastics are everywhere in our modern way of living, and their production keeps increasing every year, causing major environmental concerns. Nowadays, the end-of-life management involves accumulation landfills, incineration, recycling to a lower extent. This ecological threat environment is inspiring alternative bio-based solutions for plastic waste treatment toward circular economy. Over past decade, considerable efforts have been made degrade commodity plastics using biocatalytic approaches. Here, we provide comprehensive review on recent advances enzyme-based biocatalysis design related processes recycle or upcycle plastics, including polyesters, polyamides, polyurethanes, polyolefins. We also discuss scope limitations, challenges, opportunities this field research. An important message from that polymer-assimilating enzymes very likely part solution reaching

Plastic pollution is a growing environmental problem, in part due to the extremely stable and durable nature of this polymer. As recycling does not provide complete solution, research has been focusing on alternative ways degrading plastic. Fungi wide array enzymes specialized degradation recalcitrant substances are very promising candidates field plastic degradation. This review examines present literature for different fungal involved degradation, describing their characteristics, efficacy biotechnological applications. Fungal laccases peroxidases, generally used by fungi degrade lignin, show good results polyethylene (PE) polyvinyl chloride (PVC), while esterases such as cutinases lipases were successfully terephthalate (PET) polyurethane (PUR). Good also obtained PUR proteases ureases. All these isolated from many fungi, both

The pollution of plastic waste has become an increasingly serious environmental crisis. Recently, been detected in various kinds environments, even human tissues, which is increasing threat to the ecosystems and humans. In ocean, eventually fragmentized into microplastics (MPs) under disruption physical chemical processes. MPs are colonized by microbial communities such as fungi, diatoms, bacteria, form biofilms on surface called "plastisphere". this review, we summarize studies related microorganisms plastisphere recent years describe species plastisphere, mainly including autotrophs. Secondly, explore interactions between plastisphere. depth ocean nutrients surrounding seawater can have a great impact community structure Finally, discuss types MP-degrading bacteria use "seed bank" theory speculate potential sources microorganisms.

Plastic waste triggers a series of concerns because its disruptive impact on the environment and ecosystem. From point view catalysis, however, end-of-life plastics can be seen as an untapped feedstock for preparation value-added products. Thus, development diversified catalytic approaches valorization is urgent. Previous reviews this field have systematically summarized progress made plastic reclamation. In review, we emphasize design processes by leveraging state-of-the-art technologies from other developed fields to derive valuable polymers, functional materials, chemicals plastics. The principles, mechanisms, opportunities chemical (thermo-, electro-, photocatalytic) well biocatalytic ones are discussed, which may provide more insights future processes. Finally, outlooks perspectives accelerate toward feasible economy discussed.
