Bioplus-China # “Eating plastic spider silk”- Improving plastic degradation with PETase-Spider Silk fusion protein # Plastic waste poses a serious challenge to the ecological environment. Enzymatic degradation offers one potentially green way to achieve the recycling and utilization of plastic waste. Poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is one of the most abundantly produced synthetic polymers, making up 12% of global solid waste. Enhancing the “capture and gathering” of plastics is crucial for increasing the hydrolysis efficiency of PET hydrolase degradation. ...
