Biocatalysis
in degradation of synthetic polymers
Abstract
Abstract. Waste from the
production and use of synthetic polymers is a serious problem. The development
and application of enzymatic and microbial biocatalysts capable of degrading
hard-to-decompose polymers seems to be one of the promising and environmentally
oriented solutions to this problem. The possibilities of combining biocatalysts
(enzymes, microbial cells) with metal catalysts are considered as a perspective
basis for the development of new hybrid chemical-biocatalytic processes
designed for the effective degradation of synthetic polymers.
Key words: biocatalysts, enzymes,
microorganisms, consortia, metal catalysts, hybrid catalytic processes
