    摘要: The present invention pertains to a novel fusion protein and/or fusion peptide, preferably for use in the separation from and/or detection in an environment of one or more target polymers or plastics, e.g., one or more target polymer fragments and/M or particles or target plastic fragments and/or particles, preferably wherein the one or more target polymer particles or target plastic particles are microplastics; a method of preparing such novel fusion protein and/or fusion peptide, a system and kit comprising the novel fusion protein and/or fusion peptide and a (polymer or non-polymer) carrier or carrier system, a use of the novel fusion protein and/or fusion peptide or of a system and kit as mentioned in the separation from and/or detection in an environment of one or more target polymers or plastics, e.g., one or more target polymer fragments and/or particles or target plastic fragments and/or particles, preferably wherein the one or more target polymer particles or target plastic particles are microplastics; a method of separation of one or more target polymers or plastics from an environment, e.g., one or more target polymer fragments and/or particles or target plastic fragments and/or particles, and a method of detection of one or more target polymers or plastics in an environment, e.g., one or more target polymer fragments and/or particles or target plastic fragments and/or particles, preferably wherein the one or more target polymer particles or target plastic particles are microplastics.
