WUST-China # Plastic Killer # WUST-China incorporated PETase and MHETase into Rhodococcus rhodococcus PD630 to break down PET and yield ethylene glycol (EG) and terephthalic acid (TPA). Additionally, they explored various promoters, signal peptides, and enhancers to enhance the breakdown of PET plastics. At the same time, the method introduced 1,2 dioxygenase to transform degradation-generated TPA into protocatechuic acid PCA, thus enabling Rhodococcus rhodococcus to effectively use PET and accumulate microbial lipids. ...
