Bioremediation for Environmental Management [PDF]

, 2015
Environmental Management involves control of emissions and effluents into air, water or soil. Bioremediation makes a better effective approach possible. Microbes bioremediate the environment as they biodegrade the pollutants to obtain energy.

Cellular Upcycling of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) With an Engineered Human Saliva Metagenomic PET Hydrolase

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 1, January 2026.
To enable whole‐cell PET valorization, PETCAT is constructed as a two‐strain Escherichia coli system: one engineered to secrete the human saliva metagenomic PET hydrolase optimized for PET degradation at moderate temperatures; and another harboring a synthetic pathway for the conversion of terephthalic acid, a major PET monomer, into catechol—a ...
