WITHDRAWN: Degradation of PET microplastic particles to monomers in human serum by PETase
AI summary Read the abstract
This paper has been withdrawn from publication. The study described testing PETase enzyme degradation of PET microplastics in human serum; however, as a retracted paper its findings should not be relied upon. (Note: a separate non-withdrawn version appears elsewhere in this database as ID 40206.)
Degradation of PET microplastic particles to monomers in human serum by designer enzymes
AI summary Read the abstract
Engineered PETase enzymes broke down PET microplastic-like particles into the monomer terephthalic acid in human serum at 37 °C. The experiments were done in vitro. The authors describe the result as a step toward future work on microplastics in blood.
Degradation of PET microplastic particles to monomers in human serum by PETase

An engineered PETase enzyme broke crystalline PET microplastic-like particles down into their monomers in human serum at 37 °C. Enzyme activity in serum had not been measured before. The experiments were done in vitro.
Degradation of PET microplastic particles to monomers in human serum by PETase
AI summary Read the abstract
An engineered enzyme, PETase, broke down PET microplastic-like particles into terephthalic acid and a related compound in human serum at 37 °C. The enzyme did not affect cell viability in lab tests. The work was done in serum samples and cell cultures, not in living subjects.
Experimental investigations on polyethylene and polyethylene terephthalate microplastics’ degradation. A review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers conducted experiments to study the physical and chemical behavior of polyethylene and PET microplastic particles under different environmental conditions. The study contributes to understanding how these plastics persist and transform in the environment.
