Microbial and Enzymatic Degradation of Synthetic Plastics (2020, background): “AHs forms the key enzyme in the alkane hydroxylase system pathway, which are involved in PE degradation in β-oxidation pathway and known to degrade linear alkanes (Jeon and Kim, 2015).”
Microbial enzymes for the recycling of recalcitrant petroleum‐based plastics: how far are we? (2017, background): “coli strain simultaneously expressing the complete AH system from Pseudomonas aeruginosa E7 including an alkane monooxygenase, rubredoxin and rubredoxin reductase degraded about 30% of this PE sample (Jeon and Kim, 2015).”
Biodegradability and ecotoxicity of polyurethane foams: A review (2020, background): “…(laccases), oxygenase and peroxidases have been found to be potentially effective toward more rigid polymeric structures e.g., polyethylene (Jeon & Kim, 2015; Sowmya et al., 2015), the effectivity and mechanisms of these enzymes during PU degradation have so far been studied only briefly…”
