DOI: 10.1002/bit.28305
Abstract: Thermobifida fusca cutinase (TfCut2) is a carboxylesterase (CE) which degrades polyethylene terephthalate (PET) as well as its degradation intermediates [such as oligoethylene terephthalate (OET), or bis‐/mono‐hydroxyethyl terephthalate (BHET/MHET)] into terephthalic acid (TPA). Comparisons of the… read more here.
