Scientists create 'super enzyme' that eats plastic bottles six times faster. Scientists have created a new "super enzyme" that can break down plastic up to six times faster than their previous enzyme.

American and British scientists may have found a new weapon in the war on plastic pollution. It’s a so-called “super-enzyme” that derives from a plastic-eating bug, a bacterium that feeds ...

Scientists Made a Super-Enzyme That Absolutely Ravages Plastic Bottles The bacteria cocktail eats plastic six times faster than any other bug. By Caroline Delbert Published: Oct 02, 2020 11:00 AM EDT ...

New research shows an enzyme could erase millions of tons of plastic bottles polluting the world. While studying a 3D module of a newly discovered enzyme that eats plastic, U.K. scientists at the ...

IF super-degrading enzymes are developed, they will undoubtedly help with plastic pollution, ... @Winterbiker It takes things like plastic bags 500 years to decompose now.

Researchers stitched together proteins from plastic-eating bacteria to create "super-enzymes" that recycle plastic waste in days, rather than years. Business Insider Subscribe Newsletters ...

The “super-enzyme” could be employed to break down plastic bottles much more quickly than current recycling methods and create the raw material to make new ones, according to the scientists.

Enzymes, for example, catalyze cell metabolism, including breaking down food for digestion. Three enzymes – endocellulase, exocellulase and beta-glucosidase – can break down and digest plant fiber, or ...

Scientists have created a new “super enzyme” that can break down plastic up to six times faster than their previous enzyme. A team of researchers that previously re-engineered a plastic-eating ...
