Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Our earth suffers a lot due to the increase of plastic waste. Due to the mismanagement, plastic waste enters the ocean and endangers the marine ecosystem. The upcycling, converting the plastic hydrolysate into valuable products, would transform the open loop of the plastic waste crisis into a circular bioeconomy for sustainability. As a result of enzymatic hydrolysis, the plastic monomers can be utilized by microbes as the sole carbon sources to produce various valuable products, such as rhamnolipids, phenazine, and PHA.
