The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.The microbial degradation of synthetic polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is mediated by diverse α/β‐hydrolases, many of which remain poorly characterized. In this study, we investigated the α/β‐hydrolase SM0281 from Sinorhizobium meliloti and found that it exhibits robust carboxylesterase and polyesterase activities toward PET, PCL ...

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2026.336.66 mg/g RS from DWG hydrolysis at 45 min with 6% HCl. 1.85 g/L PHB produced by FH12 at 30°C, 6%, after 96 h. NMR and FTIR confirmed the authentic chemical structure of PHB. PHB showed thermal stability from 270°C to 340°C with max loss at 350°C. PHB showed UV‐blocking and crystalline structure for packaging use.
