Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for degrading plastic, wherein said plastic products are selected from plastic and/or textiles comprising polyester comprising at least a terephthalic acid monomer. The process of the invention particularly comprises a step of enzymatic depolymerization implemented in acidic conditions at a pH between 3 and 6.
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.
