Description

Thermokalite-stable ester bond hydrolase and application of mixed enzyme preparation containing same in degradation of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) products
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biology, and relates to a thermokalite-stable ester bond hydrolase and application of a mixed enzyme preparation containing the enzyme in the aspect of degrading polyethylene glycol terephthalate.
Background
Plastic waste presents an ecological challenge. Plastic pollution spreads worldwide from deserts to farms, from mountain tops to deep ocean depths, from tropical landfills to arctic snowlands. Reports on plastic waste in marine environments can be traced back to more than half a century ago. Over 60 years, plastic debris has accumulated in the ocean. Eriksen et al evaluate that there are over 5 trillion pieces of plastic in the world's ocean, indicating that there is an urgent need to find innovative solutions to this problem.
The standard method of disposing of waste plastics is landfill and incineration, but toxic elements of the plastics themselves, such as chlorine and some additives, are released during landfill to contaminate the soil and water source. Toxic and harmful gases and particles generated by incineration pollute the atmosphere, generate a large amount of carbon dioxide, and exacerbate global warming. Since enzymes can act on certain composite materials, such as polyesters, biodegradation technology has become a cleaner way of recycling plastics. The biodegradation technique has many advantages such as green pollution-free, simple processing conditions, better selectivity, etc. It has been reported that a number of enzymes can act in the depolymerization of polyethylene terephthalate, some of which are lipases, carboxylesterases and cutinases. Recently, yoshida et al isolated a bacterium Ideonella sakaiensis-F6 from plastic waste that produced a specific enzyme, PET enzyme, that promoted hydrolysis of PET. Sulaiman et al successfully screened leaf branch compost cutinase (LCC) through a metagenomic study based on functional screening lipolytic enzyme encoding genes, and the LCC has good thermal stability and good degradation capability on PET. In addition, it has recently been reported that the PET degradation enzymes cutinase LCC and PET enzyme engineered by genetic engineering are used to completely hydrolyze PET, but the degradation process is still time-consuming. Inhibition of product by the accumulation of monohydroxyethyl terephthalate (MHET) in the reaction medium has proven to be one of the fundamental limitations of polyester hydrolase efficiency. Previous studies have shown that efficiency is improved when the biocatalytic PET membrane hydrolysis process is carried out in an ultrafiltration membrane reaction vessel to continuously remove MHET. However, this requires a large amount of medium buffer to maintain a sufficient dilution ratio in the membrane reactor.
In recent years, the ability of many lipases, esterases and bacterial species to convert bis-hydroxyethyl terephthalate (BHET) to MHET (hydroxyethyl terephthalate) and terephthalic acid (TPA) has been widely studied because they are very important in depolymerizing PET to monomers for reuse. Yellow and et al screen a strain of acinetobacter lettuce, which can effectively degrade PET plastic and polyethylene plastic (CN 114958645A) and a microbial inoculum containing the strain. Yan Zhengfei et al, by mixing the Kehnella JQ-3 with the PET degrading enzyme cutinase ICCG via a bacterial enzyme complex, were able to completely degrade 2mg of PET (CN 115044510A) within 144 hours. Barth et al reported that carboxylesterase TfCa from Thermobifida fusca KW3 was effective in catalyzing the hydrolysis of intermediate BHET and MHET to monomeric TPA in the PET hydrolysis process. Carniel et al found that lipase CalB from Candida Antarctica was able to completely hydrolyze 31.5mM BHET to monomeric TPA in a short period of time. While the addition of CalB during the hydrolysis of PET at Humicola Insolens Cutinase (HiC) increased the yield of TPA by a factor of 7.7. Mrigwani et al characterized the thermophilic carboxylesterase TTCE from thermophilic bacteria and found that TTCE was more catalytic to BHET and MHET. In addition, TTCE was added during the hydrolysis of PET by the enzyme cutinase LCC, which increased TPA production by 30-100%.
Lequan et al isolated and identified a mesophilic esterase EseB from E.coli HY1, which has a good activity on BHET and has a moderate catalytic activity in reported BHET hydrolases. Ion et al screen a lipase DMC from Aspergillus niger Aspergillus niger, which can efficiently catalyze and hydrolyze BHET, and can assist PET degrading enzyme cutinase to degrade better to recover PET. Recently, there have been studies reporting a comparison of two esterases from the group consisting of licheniformis thermophilic, bacillus subtilis, aspergillus chewing gum, candida antarctica and four lipases, as they are more prone to hydrolyse PET plastic subunits. However, few reports have been made on the activity of esterases or lipases from thermophilic bacteria, and it is still highly desirable to find better esterases or lipases than currently tested and to be able to degrade BHET well, together with the PET degrading enzyme cutinase, to degrade PET.

2. Esterase activity assays were quantified by assaying p-nitrophenol (pNP) release using p-nitrophenyl ester as substrate. The total reaction volume was 200. Mu.L, including 50mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 0.27ug/mL enzyme (calculated as protein content in the purified solution prepared in example 1), 1mM p-nitrobutyrate (pN-C4), and the reaction was incubated in 50mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) at 70℃for 1min. To the mixture was added 200. Mu.L of 0.5M trichloroacetic acid to stop the reaction, followed by 200. Mu.L of 0.5M sodium carbonate for color development. The enzyme activity was determined by UV absorbance at 405 nm. One unit of esterase activity was defined as the amount of enzyme that released 1. Mu. Mol of p-nitrophenol per minute.
The hydrolysis activity was measured by HPLC using bis (2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET) as a substrate. One unit of enzyme activity is defined as the amount of enzyme that cleaves 1. Mu. Mol BHET per minute. The standard reaction system was 1mL, including 50mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 5.4. Mu.g/mL enzyme (calculated as protein content in the purified solution prepared in example 1), and 1mM substrate BHET. The reaction was carried out at 70℃in 50mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) for 1 hour. At the end of the experiment, the reaction was stopped with an ice-water bath. The amount of substrate BHET reacted was confirmed and analyzed by HPLC.

The buffer used was 50mM citrate-sodium citrate (pH 3.0-6.0), naH 2 PO 4 -Na 2 HPO 4 (pH 6.0-7.5) and Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.5-10.0). According to the above method for measuring esterase activity, the activity at the optimum pH is measured at 70℃and the highest enzyme activity is 100%. The effect of temperature on esterase activity was studied in 50mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) from 30 to 100 ℃. According to the method, the highest enzyme activity is 100%. The enzyme pH stability was determined by incubating the enzyme in buffers of different pH values (3.0-10.0) at 37℃for 1 hour. The enzyme was incubated at 37℃for 0 to 8 hours at different pH values (7.0 to 10.0) and examined for alkali resistance. The enzyme was incubated in 50mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) at 70, 80 and 90℃for 0-8 hours to investigate the thermostability of the esterase. The residual activity was calculated by measuring the absorbance at 405nm according to the method described above, taking the enzyme activity of the untreated enzyme as 100%. Knot(s)As shown in FIGS. 2a-e, the optimum temperature and pH of the thermostable ester bond hydrolase were 85℃and 8.0, respectively. And the heat alkali stable ester bond hydrolase retains 53% of activity after 6 hours of incubation in a buffer solution at pH 10.0, and retains 57% of enzyme activity after 8 hours of incubation at 90 ℃, which both show good alkali tolerance and heat stability of the heat alkali stable ester bond hydrolase.
2. Influence of organic solvents, metal ions and surfactants on esterase Activity
Using pNP-C4 as a substrate, various metal salts (Fe) were used in 50mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) at 70℃according to the above-described esterase activity assay 3+ 、Cu 2+ 、Fe 2+ 、Mg 2+ 、Ca 2+ 、Mn 2+ 、Ni 2+ 、Co 2+ 、Zn 2+ 、Na + 、K + 1 and 10 mM) to determine the effect of metal ions on enzyme activity. The enzyme activity of the esterase to which no metal ion was added was determined to be 100%. Simultaneously, using pNP-C4 as a substrate, PMSF (1 and 10 mM), EDTA (1 and 10 mM) and a surfactant (1% and 5%, v/v) were added to the above-mentioned 50mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) assay solution according to the above-mentioned esterase activity assay method, and the effect of PMSF, EDTA and surfactants (SDS, triton X-100 and Tween-80) on esterase activity was investigated. The activity of the residual enzyme was measured by adding the substrate pNP-C4 under standard assay conditions and the reaction mixture was incubated at 37℃for 1 hour. The esterase activity of the enzyme without additives was taken as control and defined as 100% activity. The stability of esterases to organic solvents (DMSO, methanol, ethanol, acetone and chloroform) was determined by storage at 37℃for 1 hour in the presence of organic solvents (50% and 90%, v/v) in 50mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), the residual enzymatic activity being determined according to the method described above using pNP-C4 as substrate. The activity of the untreated enzyme was defined as 100% activity. All reactions were in triplicate, relative standard deviation<5%. The results are shown in Table 1, and when the concentration is 1mM, mg 2+ 、Na + And K + Can obviously improve esterase activity and Ni 2+ 、Cu 2+ 、Fe 2+ 、Zn 2+ And Fe (Fe) 3+ The esterase activity is reduced. Na at a concentration of 10mM + 、Li + 、K + And Mg (magnesium) 2+ Has an effect of promoting esterase activity, while Ca 2+ 、Mn 2+ 、Co 2+ 、Ni 2+ 、Cu 2+ 、Fe 2+ And Fe (Fe) 3+ Has inhibiting effect on the activity of ester bond hydrolase with heat alkali stability. As shown in Table 2, PMSF greatly inhibited the activity of the thermostable ester bond hydrolase, whereas EDTA, SDS, tween 80 and Triton-X100 increased the activity of the thermostable ester bond hydrolase at a concentration of 1mM, and slightly inhibited the activity of the thermostable ester bond hydrolase at a concentration of 10 mM. As shown in Table 3, the heat base stable ester bond hydrolase remained largely active after 1 hour of storage in each organic solvent.

3. Substrate specificity and kinetic parameters
According to the above method for measuring esterase activity, p-nitrophenylacetate (pN-C2), p-nitrobutyrate (pN-C4), p-nitrophenylcaproate (pN-C6), p-nitrophenyloctanoate (pN-C8), p-nitrophenylaurate (pN-C12) and p-nitrophenylacetonate were usedPalmitate (pN-C16) and BHET were used as substrates and the substrate specificity was determined in 50mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) at 70 ℃. The kinetic parameters K of the thermobase-stable ester bond hydrolases for the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenylacetate, butyrate, caproate and caprylate were determined using the corresponding substrates at concentrations of 0.01mM to 2mM m And V max (wherein all p-nitrophenyl esters are used in accordance with the method for determining p-nitrobutyrate). The esterase activity of the different p-nitrophenyl esters was determined under optimal conditions at pH 8.0 and 85 ℃. K (K) m And V max Values were calculated from the Lineweaver-Burk plot. To calculate the catalytic constant k cat The number of proteins divided by the subunit molecular mass of the thermostable ester bond hydrolase 29.89kDa. After 15min of reaction at a concentration of 0.01mM to 5mM, the K of BHET hydrolysis by the thermostable ester bond hydrolase was determined by quantification of the hydrolysate isolated by HPLC m And V max Values. Each experiment was performed in triplicate, relative standard deviation<5%. The results are shown in FIG. 3 and Table 4, and the specific activity of the thermostable ester bond hydrolase was determined according to pNP-butyrate (C4)>pNP-acetate (C2)>pNP-caproic acid salt (C6)>pNP-octanoate (C8)>pNP-laurate (C12)>pNP-palmitate (C16)>BHET sequence.

Example 3
Application of thermokalite-stable ester bond hydrolase in hydrolysis of BHET with different concentrations
Different concentrations of substrate BHET (2, 5, 10, 20 and 40 mM) were used to determine the ability of the thermostable ester bond hydrolase to catalyze the hydrolysis of BHET. The reaction volume was 5mL and the thermobase stable ester bond hydrolase prepared in example 1 (calculated as protein content in the purified solution) was added to 50mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) containing different concentrations of substrate BHET (2, 5, 10, 20 and 40 mM) at a load of 4mg protein/g BHET at 85℃to start the reaction for 24 hours. The reacted samples were diluted, filtered through a 0.22 micron filter plate, and stored at-20 ℃ for subsequent HPLC detection. All reactions were performed in duplicate. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4, the heat-stable ester bond hydrolase was effective in catalyzing the hydrolysis of BHET and MHET (MHET is first produced and then degraded) to produce TPA, i.e., the heat-stable ester bond hydrolase was able to completely hydrolyze 40mM of BHET within 24 hours to produce 3.4mM of MHET and 36.8mM of TPA.
Example 4
Thermal alkali-stable ester bond hydrolase degradation amorphous PET film
The reaction mixture consisted of an amorphous PET film (available from Goodfelt Co.) at a final concentration of 10g/L and a thermobase stable ester bond hydrolase (calculated as protein content in the purified solution prepared in example 1) at a final concentration of 10. Mu.g/mL in 100mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) and incubated at 70℃for 24 hours at 220rpm. Reaction samples were taken at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 and 24 hours. At the end of incubation, the reaction supernatant was diluted 10-fold in a solution containing 24% by mass acetonitrile. The diluted sample was filtered through a 0.22 micron filter plate and stored at-20 ℃ for subsequent HPLC detection. The control group was incubated with buffer instead of enzyme. All reactions were performed in duplicate. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the thermokali-stable ester bond hydrolase had a certain degradation ability for amorphous PET, and after 24 hours of reaction, 0.39mM of TPA,0.15mM of MHET and 0.03mM of BHET could be obtained.
Example 5
Mixed enzyme preparation degradation amorphous PET film
Wherein, cutinase LCC (SEQ ID NO. 3) was synthesized by Shanghai and purchased, and 10. Mu.g/mL means that 1mL of the reaction solution contains an enzyme in an amount of 10. Mu.g of protein, the amount of protein being determined according to the Briand Folder method in example 2.
The same procedure as in example 4 was followed except that 10. Mu.g/mL of the PET degrading enzyme cutinase LCC alone was used to degrade the amorphous PET film as a control. As an experimental group, a mixed enzyme preparation having a ratio of the amounts of protein of thermokali-stable ester bond hydrolase and cutinase LCC of PET (the ratio of the amounts of protein measured by the Briand Folder method in example 2) of 1:1 was used, wherein the concentration of each enzyme was 10. Mu.g/mL. Incubate at pH 7.0, 70℃and 220rpm for 24 hours. At the end of incubation, the reaction supernatant was diluted 10-fold in a solution containing 24% acetonitrile. The diluted sample was filtered through a 0.22 micron filter plate and stored at-20 ℃ for subsequent HPLC detection. All reactions were performed in duplicate. As shown in FIG. 6, the total amount of the product produced by hydrolysis of PET by the mixed enzyme preparation was 15.77mM, and the amount of TPA produced was 5.28mM. The total amount of product produced by hydrolysis of PET by LCC alone was 9.68mM, with TPA produced in an amount of 2.91mM. As can be seen, the total amount of product from hydrolysis of PET by the thermostable ester bond hydrolase alone was only 0.57mM, with TPA being produced in an amount of only 0.39mM. The total product amount generated by hydrolyzing PET by the mixed enzyme preparation is 1.63 times and 27.67 times that of PET by independently hydrolyzing LCC and thermokalite-stable ester bond hydrolase respectively, namely the total product amount is increased, and the product amount of double enzyme action is obviously more than the sum of the two single enzyme hydrolysis products. The amount of TPA product produced by hydrolyzing PET with the mixed enzyme preparation is 1.81 times and 13.54 times that of PET by independently hydrolyzing the LCC and the thermokalite-stable ester bond hydrolase. As shown in fig. 12c and d, the degradation rate of the PET film treated with the mixed enzyme preparation was 38.87% 1.53 times that of the single enzyme LCC (25.37%). Compared with the film PET surface (FIG. 12 a) which has not been subjected to the enzyme treatment, the film PET surface (FIGS. 12c and d) which has been subjected to the enzyme treatment exhibits roughness, voids and the like. The surface of the PET film treated with the mixed enzyme preparation (FIG. 12 d) showed a phenomenon that the pores were enlarged and the texture was coarser as compared with the PET film treated with the single enzyme preparation (FIG. 12 c), which is consistent with the result of the product analysis. The experiment effectively proves that although the thermokalite-stable ester bond hydrolase has a general effect on degrading PET, the mixed enzyme preparation added with the thermokalite-stable ester bond hydrolase can obviously improve the degradation capability of the cutinase on PET and can also improve the amount of a monomer product TPA.
Example 6
Mixed enzyme preparation for degrading semi-crystalline PET powder
The procedure of example 5 was followed except that the substrate was a semi-crystalline PET powder (available from Goodfelt, inc. with a crystallinity of 60.3%) and incubated at pH 7.0, 70℃and 220rpm. After the incubation was completed, the total amount of product hydrolyzed semi-crystalline powder PET by the mixed enzyme preparation with the addition of the thermostable ester bond hydrolase was 0.4mM, which is 1.60 times the total amount of single enzyme LCC hydrolysis product (0.25 mM), as shown in FIG. 11. Wherein the amount of TPA produced by hydrolysis of the mixed enzyme preparation was 0.17mM, which is 1.89 times that of the single enzyme LCC (0.09 mM). As shown in fig. 12b, e and f, the mixed enzyme formulation treated semi-crystalline powder PET surface (fig. 12 f) showed significant deep erosion and a large number of pores compared to the non-enzyme treated surface (fig. 12 b), whereas the single enzyme LCC treatment showed spalling of the semi-crystalline powder PET surface layer. More traces of erosion were observed for the mixed enzyme formulation treated semi-crystalline powder PET (fig. 12 f) than for the LCC-degraded semi-crystalline powder PET surface alone (fig. 12 e).

At the end of incubation, the reaction supernatant was diluted 10-fold in a solution containing 24% by mass acetonitrile. The diluted sample was filtered through a 0.22 micron filter plate and stored at-20 ℃ for subsequent HPLC detection. The control group was incubated with buffer instead of enzyme. All reactions were performed in duplicate. As shown in FIG. 7, the optimal substrate amount for degrading an amorphous PET film by a mixed enzyme preparation was 20g/L, at which time the total amount of the hydrolyzed PET-derived product was 16.76mM, and the TPA-derived product was 5.82mM. The optimal substrate amount for single PET degrading enzyme cutinase LCC to degrade amorphous PET film is 10g/L, the total amount of the produced product is 9.68mM, and the production amount of TPA is 2.91mM.

At the end of incubation, the reaction supernatant was diluted 10-fold in a solution containing 24% by mass acetonitrile. The diluted sample was filtered through a 0.22 micron filter plate and stored at-20 ℃ for subsequent HPLC detection. The control group was incubated with buffer instead of enzyme. All reactions were performed in duplicate. As shown in FIG. 8, the pH optimum for degrading an amorphous PET film by a mixed enzyme preparation was 7.0, at which time the total amount of the hydrolyzed PET-derived product was 16.76mM, and the amount of TPA-derived product was 5.82mM.
Example 9

The same procedure as in example 5 was followed except that the ratio of thermokalite-stable ester bond hydrolase to PET degrading enzyme cutinase LCC protein in the mixed enzyme formulation was 1:2, 2:3, 3:4, 1:1, 4:3, 3:2 and 2:1, respectively, the amount of substrate added was 20g/L and incubated at pH 7.0, 70℃and 220rpm for 24 hours. At the end of incubation, the reaction supernatant was diluted 10-fold in a solution containing 24% acetonitrile. The diluted sample was filtered through a 0.22 micron filter plate and stored at-20 ℃ for subsequent HPLC detection. The control group was incubated with buffer instead of enzyme. All reactions were performed in duplicate. As shown in FIG. 9, the optimal ratio of the amounts of the thermokali-stable ester bond hydrolase and the PET degrading enzyme cutinase LCC protein in the mixed enzyme preparation was 3:4 (the ratio of the amounts of the proteins measured by the Brillar method in example 2), at which time the total amount of the hydrolyzed PET-derived product was 18.18mM, wherein the amount of TPA produced was 5.93mM.
Example 10
Degradation of amorphous PET film by different enzyme mixtures
Wherein, PET degrading enzyme cutinase BhrPETase (SEQ ID NO. 4) and its mutant EQK (SEQ ID NO. 5) are synthesized and purchased by Shanghai, and 10 mug/mL means that 1mL of the reaction solution contains 10ug of protein, and the protein is measured according to the Briand Fund method in example 2.
The same procedure as in example 5 was followed except that the PET degrading enzyme cutinase LCC in the mixed enzyme preparation was replaced with the PET degrading enzyme cutinase BhrPETase and its mutants. Incubate at pH 7.0, 70℃and 220rpm for 24 hours. At the end of incubation, the reaction supernatant was diluted 10-fold in a solution containing 24% acetonitrile. The diluted sample was filtered through a 0.22 micron filter plate and stored at-20 ℃ for subsequent HPLC detection. All reactions were performed in duplicate. As shown in FIG. 10, the total concentrations of the products obtained by hydrolyzing PET with BhrPETase mixed enzyme preparation and BhrPETase mutant mixed enzyme preparation to which the thermostable ester bond hydrolase was added were 14.67 and 19.35mM, respectively, 1.49 times and 1.64 times that of the single enzymes BhrPETase (9.84 mM) and BhrPETase mutant (11.82 mM). Wherein the mixed enzyme preparation hydrolyzed PET to generate TPA concentrations of 5.35 and 7.8mM, respectively, which are 2-fold and 1.89-fold higher than the single enzyme BhrPETase (2.67 mM) and BhrPETase mutant EQK (4.13 mM), respectively. As shown in fig. 12, the amorphous film PET degradation rates of the BhrPETase mixed enzyme preparation and the BhrPETase mutant mixed enzyme preparation were 46.8% and 51.8%, respectively, which were 1.86 times and 1.48 times that of the single enzymes BhrPETase (25.2%) and BhrPETase mutant (35.1%), respectively. And the amorphous film PET surface treated with the mixed enzyme formulation (fig. 12h and j) exhibited more voids, larger holes, and a deeper degree of corrosion than the amorphous film PET surface treated with the single enzyme (fig. 12g and i). This is consistent with the results of examples 5 and 6, showing that the use of a thermostable ester bond hydrolase in combination with a cutinase significantly improves the degradation of PET.
Example 11
PET beverage bottle degraded by different mixed enzyme preparations
The procedure was as in example 10, except that the substrate used was a waste PET beverage bottle, and different parts (bottle mouth, bottle shoulder, bottle body, bottle bottom and bottle bottom center) of the PET beverage bottle after use (500 mL) were cut out to 10mg of the substrate and 1mL of the mixture of BhrPETase, bhrPETase enzyme preparation, bhrPETase mutant and BhrPETase mutant enzyme preparation, and 100mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) were added to a 2mL centrifuge tube together, and the enzyme amounts were the same as in example 5 and example 10. Incubate at 70℃at 220rpm for 72 hours. At the end of incubation, the reaction supernatant was diluted 10-fold in a solution containing 24% acetonitrile. The diluted sample was filtered through a 0.22 micron filter plate and stored at-20 ℃ for subsequent HPLC detection. All reactions were performed in duplicate. As shown in FIG. 13, the BhrPETase mixed enzyme preparation and BhrPETase mutant enzyme preparation hydrolyzed beverage bottle neck finish PET released TPA yields of 16.49 and 24.27mM, which were 166% and 158% higher, respectively, than the single enzymes BhrPETase (6.20 mM) and BhrPETase mutant (9.39 mM). The total yield of PET released from the bottles of the beverage bottles was 23.16 and 31.58mM, which was 22.73% and 23.50% higher, respectively, than the single enzymes BhrPETase (18.87 mM) and BhrPETase mutant (25.57 mM). The degradation rate of beverage bottle PET was analyzed by comparing the weight difference before and after enzymatic degradation by a weighing method, and the result is shown in fig. 14, and compared with the untreated control group (fig. 14 a), the degradation rate of PET at the mouth of the beverage bottle treated with the BhrPETase mixed enzyme preparation and the BhrPETase mutant enzyme preparation was 51.8% and 70.0%, respectively, and improved by 10.66% and 10.92% compared with the BhrPETase (46.8%) and the BhrPETase mutant (62.7%), respectively, which indicates that the ability of double enzyme to degrade PET is superior to that of single enzyme. As shown in fig. 14, the surface of the beverage bottle neck finish PET (fig. 14c and e) treated with the mixed enzyme preparation exhibited more voids, larger holes, and a deeper degree of corrosion than the surface of the beverage bottle neck finish PET (fig. 14b and d) treated with the single enzyme. The results are consistent with the results of product analysis and weight difference analysis, and the degradation conditions of other parts of the PET beverage bottle are similar to those of the bottle mouth, so that the hydrolysis capability and TPA yield of PET can be obviously improved by adding the thermokalite-stable ester bond hydrolase in the process of hydrolyzing the PET plastic product by the cutinase.
