Heterologous expression and characterization of synthetic polyester-degrading cutinases from Fusarium spp. in Aspergillus niger | Microbiology Spectrum
Cutinases are promising enzymes for a spectrum of applications due to their substrate promiscuity toward both natural and synthetic polymers. This makes them strong candidates for the development of s...

Polyester degradation by soil bacteria: identification of conserved BHETase enzymes in Streptomyces - Communications Biology
A comprehensive study on the identification and characterization of PETase-like enzymes in Streptomyces indicates the presence of strain specific variants of a conserved BHET-degrading esterase.
