Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Biodegradation by Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus pulmonarius
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2022 Abstract Essential properties of Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) such as lightness, high transparency, high mechanical strength, good moisture barrier, high heat resistance, and relatively low cost make it a suitable material for the packaging of natural mineral and soft drink bottles. However, these have contributed significantly to household

Soil Improvement Using Waste Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)
Engineering Proceedings, 2023 This study investigates the use of waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle strips for soil stabilization in the Potohar region. Uncontrolled filling during housing societies development has led to settlement issues and structural cracking.

Structural basis of terephthalate recognition by solute binding protein TphC
Nature Communications, 2021 The presence of the gene encoding the solute binding protein TphC has been shown to permit the uptake of terephthalate (TPA), which is the breakdown product of Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic.
