The recent identification of enzymes that degrade plastics previously considered non-biodegradable opens up opportunities to steer the plastic recycling industry into the realm of biotechnology.Here, the sequential conversion of post-consumer polyethylene terephthalate (PET) into two types of bioplastics is presented: a medium chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) and a novel bio-based poly(amide urethane) (bio-PU). PET films are hydrolyzed by a thermostable polyester hydrolase yielding highly pure terephthalate and ethylene glycol. The obtained hydrolysate is used directly as a feedstock for a terephthalate-degrading Pseudomonas umsongensis GO16, also evolved to efficiently metabolize ethylene glycol, to produce PHA. The strain is further modified to secrete hydroxyalkanoyloxy-alkanoates (HAAs), which are used as monomers for the chemo-catalytic synthesis of bio-PU. In short, a novel value-chain for PET upcycling is shown that circumvents the costly purification of PET monomers, adding technological flexibility to the global challenge of end-of-life management of plastics.}, cin = {IBG-1}, ddc = {610}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)IBG-1-20101118}, pnm = {2172 - Utilization of renewable carbon and energy sources and engineering of ecosystem functions (POF4-217)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF4-2172}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, pubmed = {33865980}, UT = {WOS:000658808700005}, doi = {10.1016/j.ymben.2021.03.011}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/892391}, }
