Summary

Metagenomic mining of microplastic-polluted environments in Côte d'Ivoire identified novel PETase enzyme candidates capable of degrading PET plastic. Discovering indigenous plastic-degrading enzymes in contaminated environments advances bioremediation strategies for addressing the growing burden of plastic pollution in West African waterways and soils.
