The tremendous problem with plastic waste accumulation has determined an interest in biodegradation by effective degraders and their enzymes, such as thermophilic enzymes, which are characterized by high catalytic rates, thermostability, and optimum temperatures close to the melting points of some plastics. In the present work, we report on the ability of a thermophilic lipase, by Brevibacillus thermoruber strain 7, to degrade Ɛ-polycaprolactone (PCL), as well as the enzyme purification, the characterization of its physicochemical properties, the product degradation, and its disruptive effect on the PCL surface. The pure enzyme showed the highest reported optimum temperature at 55 °C and a pH of 7.5, while its half-life at 60 °C was more than five hours. Its substrate specificity referred the enzyme to the subgroup of lipases in the esterase group. A strong inhibitory effect was observed by detergents, inhibitors, and Fe3+ while Ca2+ enhanced its activity. The monomer Ɛ-caprolactone was a main product of the enzyme degradation. Similar elution profiles of the products received after treatment with ultra-concentrate and pure enzyme were observed. The significant changes in PCL appearance comprising the formation of shallower or deeper in-folds were observed after a week of incubation. The valuable enzyme properties of the lipase from Brevibacillus thermoruber strain 7, which caused a comparatively quick degradation of PCL, suggests further possible exploration of the enzyme for effective and environment-friendly degradation of PCL wastes in the area of thermal basins, or in thermophilic remediation processes.
