Improving the activity and thermostability of PETase from Ideonella sakaiensis through modulating its post-translational glycan modification
Abstract
Polyehylene terephthalate (PET) biodegradation is greatly improved when recombinant IsPETase is expressed in Pichia pastoris and the enzyme’s partial removal of N-terminal glycosylation, retaining high thermostability.
