“…6 The enzymatic hydrolysis of PET is an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional recycling methods and can be performed under milder temperature and pH conditions, allowing less energy consumption. 7 Hydrolytic activity against PET has been identified in filamentous fungi, such as Fusarium oxysporum and Fusarium solani, 8 and in bacteria from the genus Thermobifida, 9 with enzymes such as cutinases (EC 3.1.1.74), lipases (EC 3.1.1.3), and carboxylesterases (EC 3.1.1.1) involved in PET degradation. 4 This is usually monitored by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which separates monomeric TPA from its ethylene glycol esters, namely mono(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (MHET) and bis-(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET), among other hydrolysis products.…”

“…7 Fluorometric TPA detection has also been used to monitor PET degradation, but only for isolated enzymes. 8,13 The high sensitivity of these fluorometric methods allows the assay to be performed with low concentrations of both substrate and biocatalyst (isolated enzymes or whole-cell microorganisms), ensuring a low-cost for the screening without loss of performance. Identifying similar efficient screening methodologies for these enzymes is important for microorganism assays, in order to broaden the search for biocatalysts capable of depolymerizing (or degrading) PET.…”

We propose a practical, low-cost and selective fluorescence-based protocol adapted to identify polyethylene terephthalate (PET) degrading microorganisms. The microbial hydrolysis of PET nanoparticles was monitored by 2-hydroxyterephthalate, a fluorophore produced in situ after radical hydroxylation of terephthalic acid (TPA), the final hydrolysis product, by the Fenton reaction. Seven fungi presenting promising PET hydrolytic potential using the proposed microscale screening assay were identified. The strains evaluated presented a substantial increase of up to 18-fold in PET nanoparticles conversion, such as obtained by the fungus Trichoderma sp. C70, after their cultivation in a PET-enriched medium. The formation of other hydrolysis products, along with TPA, was observed using matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS).

“…The presence of hydrophilic groups (-OH, -COOH) on fibre surface brought about a change in the surface character from hydrophobic to hydrophilic, which creates an opportunity to improve many disadvantageous properties of fibres and fabrics. The change in the chemical character of the surface layer of PET fibres has resulted in the improvement in wettability, comparable to the effect obtained by alkaline modification [1,2,4,7,11,14,19,21,23,32,35,39,42] and increase in hydrophilicity [2,5,6,9,10,15,17,24,25,35] The consequence of the obtained increased water absorption by the fabric was a durable improvement in antistatic properties resulting from the reduced surface resistance [18][19][20][21].…”

The effect of changes in the surface structure of glossy polyester filaments from poly(ethylene terephthalate) in terms of its micro-topography, molecular and supermolecular structure of the fibre surface layers on selected fibre surface and volumetric properties has been assessed. The performed tests and measurements have shown that the change in the general surface characteristics of PET fibres (micro-topography and hydrophilicity) results in very beneficial changes in both their volumetric (dyeability) and surface properties (wettability, pilling, oil-soil removal and electric properties).

“…Cutinase is one of these enzymes, and cutinases from F. solani f. sp. pisi (6,10,26,36), F. oxysporum (25), and T. fusca (1,13,14,24,32) have been well studied regarding PET modification. However, the catalytic efficiencies of these enzymes are not sufficiently high to meet the requirements of the textile industry (10).…”

The gene encoding a cutinase homolog, LC-cutinase, was cloned from a fosmid library of a leaf-branch compost metagenome by functional screening using tributyrin agar plates. LC-cutinase shows the highest amino acid sequence identity of 59.7% to Thermomonospora curvata lipase. It also shows the 57.4% identity to Thermobifida fusca cutinase. When LCcutinase without a putative signal peptide was secreted to the periplasm of Escherichia coli cells with the assistance of the pelB leader sequence, more than 50% of the recombinant protein, termed LC-cutinase*, was excreted into the extracellular medium. It was purified and characterized. LC-cutinase* hydrolyzed various fatty acid monoesters with acyl chain lengths of 2 to 18, with a preference for short-chain substrates (C 4 substrate at most) most optimally at pH 8.5 and 50°C, but could not hydrolyze olive oil. It lost activity with half-lives of 40 min at 70°C and 7 min at 80°C. LC-cutinase* had an ability to degrade poly(-caprolactone) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The specific PET-degrading activity of LC-cutinase* was determined to be 12 mg/h/mg of enzyme (2.7 mg/h/kat of pNP-butyrate-degrading activity) at pH 8.0 and 50°C. This activity is higher than those of the bacterial and fungal cutinases reported thus far, suggesting that LC-cutinase* not only serves as a good model for understanding the molecular mechanism of PET-degrading enzyme but also is potentially applicable for surface modification and degradation of PET. C utinase (EC 3.1.1.74) is a lipolytic/esterolytic enzyme that hydrolyzes not only cutin, which is a major component of plant cuticle (38), but also water-soluble esters and insoluble triglycerides (12). It hydrolyzes these substrates to carboxylic acids and alcohols through the formation of an acyl enzyme intermediate, in which the active-site serine residue is acylated by the substrate. This serine residue is located within a GXSXG sequence motif and forms a catalytic triad with His and Asp. Cutinase has been found in both fungi and bacteria. The crystal structures of two fungal cutinases from Fusarium solani f. sp. pisi (22) and Glomerella cingulata (27) have been determined. According to these structures, cutinase shares a common ␣/␤ hydrolase fold with lipase and esterase (28). However, cutinase, like esterase, does not have a lid structure, which is responsible for interfacial activation of lipase (8). Therefore, cutinase does not show interfacial activation like esterase (14). Cutinase has recently received much attention because of its potential application for surface modification and degradation of aliphatic and aromatic polyesters (16), especially polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is a synthetic aromatic polyester composed of terephthalic acid (TPA) and ethylene glycol (10,16,36,39). However, the number of cutinases, which have been studied regarding PET modification, is still limited, and this limitation may result in the delay of the research toward the practical use of cutinases. Therefore, isolation of a novel cutinase...
