Enzymes for Pollutant Degradation

Part of the book series: Microorganisms for Sustainability ((MICRO,volume 30))

Abstract

In the past century, plastic-derived products have facilitated our daily life but with time, their harmful effects have also affected our environment in the form of massive plastic waste materials. The gross production of synthetic polymers per annum that cannot be decomposed has reached 300 million tons and continues to increase, creating a worldwide environmental concern. These facts have fascinated the scientific attention to overcoming the buildup of undesirable plastics in the ecosystem. Conventional chemical or thermal treatment for polymer degradation typically involves harsh conditions and the release of toxic gases. Microbial degradation has been employed to decompose plastic waste materials, but unfortunately, all the conventionally used plastics remain unaffected by the microbial attack. Over time, a number of methods have been investigated for the degradation of polyesters. Owing to biocompatibility and mild conditions, lipases-assisted technology exhibits a wide substrate specificity and incredible perspective to catalyze the hydrolysis and depolymerization of polyesters. In this chapter, a comprehensive review of the production, purification, and characterization of microbial lipolytic enzymes, and their use in the biocatalytic degradation of polymers has been given. A high potential of lipase as a green and robust biocatalyst for the degradation of polyester ensures its promise for environmental safety.
