What is Enzymatic Degradation of PET Plastics by Endophytic Fungi about?

This study investigates the ability of the endophytic fungus Pestalotiopsis microspora to degrade polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastics, demonstrating a 26% mass reduction over 30 days under controlled conditions. The fungus secretes hydrolase enzymes that break down PET, even in anaerobic environments, suggesting potential applications for plastic waste management in landfills. The findings support the development of
