Poly(lactic acid) Degradation by Recombinant Cutinases from Aspergillus nidulans

Eric Alvarado,
Rafael Castro,
José Augusto Castro-Rodríguez
et al.

Abstract: Poly(lactic-acid) (PLA) is a biodegradable polymer widely used as a packaging material. Its monomer, lactic acid, and its derivatives have been used in the food, cosmetic, and chemical industries. The accumulation of PLA residues leads to the development of green degrading methodologies, such as enzymatic degradation. This work evaluates the potential use of three cutinolytic enzymes codified in the Aspergillus nidulans genome to achieve this goal. The results are compared with those obtained with proteinase K… Show more
