| Abstract | The enzymatic degradation of the recalcitrant poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) has been an important biotechnological goal. The present review focuses on the state of the art in enzymatic degradation of PET, and the challenges ahead. This review covers (i) enzymes acting on PET, (ii) protein improvements through selection or engineering, (iii) strategies to improve biocatalyst-polymer interaction and monomer yields. Finally, this review discusses critical points on PET degradation, and their related experimental aspects, that include the control of physicochemical parameters. The search for, and engineering of, PET hydrolases, have been widely studied to achieve this, and several examples are discussed here. Many enzymes, from various microbial sources, have been studied and engineered, but recently true PET hydrolases (PETases), active at moderate temperatures, were reported. For a circular economy process, terephtalic acid (TPA) production is critical. Some thermophilic cutinases and engineered PETases have been reported to release terephthalic acid in significant amounts. Some bottlenecks in enzyme performance are discussed, including enzyme activity, thermal stability, substrate accessibility, PET microstructures, high crystallinity, molecular mass, mass transfer, and efficient conversion into reusable fragments. |
