Summary

Supporting data from metagenomic mining of microplastic-polluted sites in Côte d'Ivoire identified new PETase enzyme candidates capable of degrading PET plastics. Bioprospecting in contaminated environments for plastic-degrading microbes offers a scalable, nature-based strategy for tackling the persistent accumulation of plastic waste in vulnerable ecosystems.
