AI Technical Summary
Existing short-chain ester hydrolases have low catalytic efficiency for the polyester plastic precursor BHET and poor stability under complex industrial conditions, making them difficult to apply effectively to water pollution treatment and plastic recycling.
A novel BHET hydrolase has been screened from deep-sea bacteria. It exhibits high specificity, demonstrates efficient degradation of short-chain ester substrates, and maintains high stability over a wide pH range, a wide temperature range, and under conditions of high concentrations of divalent cations and organic solvents.
It achieves efficient degradation of BHET in complex environments, expanding its application prospects in water pollution treatment and plastic recycling.
