A polyesterase from the Antarctic bacterium Moraxella sp. degrades highly crystalline synthetic polymers
The uncontrolled release of plastics in the environment has rendered them ubiquitous around the planet, threatening the wildlife and human health. Biodegradation and valorization of plastics has emerged as an ecofriendly alternative to conventional management techniques. Discovery of novel polymer-d...
