50 million tons of PET are produced annually, and from this, only 10% is recycled. PETBuster opens the door for PET fermentation, helping us close the PET carbon cycle. Moreover, P. putida is “easy” to engineer, so we can further optimize PETBuster - stay tuned!

Put together, breaking the polymer, plus eating the resulting small molecules, PETBuster can degrade 90% of PET in 21 days while maintaining robust growth.

PET is broken down into ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. Thus, we also engineered P. putida to metabolize those molecules.

To engineer PETBuster, we used Pseudomonas putida as a chassis and expressed an enzyme extracellularly, capable of breaking the plastic polyethylene terephthalate, PET, into small molecules.

Molecular fossils may not always be what they seem.
“Just as archaeologists know to be careful in how they interpret physical fossils, historians of protein evolution could take similar care in their interpretation of molecular fossils.”

@asaflevylab.bsky.social suffers from it often, maybe he can help. I would produce a lot of biomas and then activate the expression of the toxic gene.
