Lignocellulose-mediated selection of halophilic PET-degrading enzymes from mangrove soil
Summary
Researchers used microcosm experiments with mangrove soil — an ecosystem exposed to both plant biomass and plastic pollution — to screen for halophilic enzymes capable of degrading PET, leveraging the soil's rich microbial diversity as a source of novel polymer-degrading candidates.
Mangroves are ecosystems located in land-sea transition zones, where they are continuously exposed to plant biomass inputs and plastic pollution. Their soils harbor extensive microbial diversity with potential for discovering polymer-degrading enzymes. Here, we performed a microcosm experiment...
