This project focuses on enhancing the biodegradation of polyethylene, a common plastic, by optimizing enzymes through advanced protein evolution techniques. It aims to develop high-throughput methods to improve microbial solutions for plastic waste management.
The build-up of plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental concerns.
Polyethylene (PE), the most abundantly produced plastic polymer, can persist in nature for over a century.
The microbial biodegradation of PE that has been observed is slow and inefficient.
So far no effort has been undertaken to improve the efficiency of enzymes involved in the biodegradation of PE through directed protein evolution.
Standard assays for measuring degradation rates are not sufficiently high-thr…
