PET Plastic Decomposition by Marine Microbes: A Global Concern
Marine microbes use PET as a carbon source to combat ocean plastic.
M5 motif marks efficient PETase enzymes identified via AI and lab tests.
M5 motif aids enzyme design but microbial breakdown is too slow to help oceans.
80% of 400 ocean samples have functional PETases with the M5 motif.
