Abstract:
The present invention relates to a recombinant yeast cell comprising a gene encoding a protein exhibiting lactyl-CoA synthase activity and a gene encoding a protein exhibiting lactyl-CoA polymerase activity, said recombinant cell having the ability of producing polylactic acid (PLA), and the uses thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for degrading plastic products that comprises a step of enzymatic depolymerization implemented in acidic conditions at a pH between 4 and 6, in a reaction medium containing a defined amount of soluble equivalent terephthalic acid mostly in the form of salts.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel esterases, more particularly to esterase variants having improved activity and/or improved thermostability compared to the esterase of SEQ ID NO: 1 and the uses thereof for degrading polyester containing material, such as plastic products. The esterases of the invention are particularly suited to degrade polyethylene terephthalate, and material containing polyethylene terephthalate.
