• Plastics: Environmental and Biotechnological Perspectives on Microbial Degradation (2019, background): “PET hydrolase as a secreted enzyme produces the intermediate mono(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalic acid (MHET).”
• Microbial enzymes for the recycling of recalcitrant petroleum‐based plastics: how far are we? (2017, background): “Similarly, a reaction system composed of the fungal polyester hydrolase HiC and the lipase CalB from Candida antarctica also showed a 7.7-fold increase in the yield of terephthalate obtained due to the concomitant degradation of MHET catalysed by CalB (Carniel et al., 2016).”
