Discovery and rational engineering of PET hydrolase with both mesophilic and thermophilic PET hydrolase properties

Abstract Excessive polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste causes a variety of problems. Extensive research focused on the development of superior PET hydrolases for PET biorecycling has been conducted. However, template enzymes employed in enzyme engineering mainly focused on IsPETase and leaf-branc...
