The accumulation of plastics in the environment, especially in rivers and oceans, is a massive and well-known problem. Most of these plastics have purely alkyl chain backbones, which makes them recalcitrant to biodegradation. The aim of this project is to develop the high-level, secretory, recombinant production of an enzyme that we have discovered and patented and that can effect such a degradation, and to begin to scale up our process.

塑料在环境中的积累，特别是在河流和海洋中，是一个众所周知的大问题。这些塑料中的大多数具有纯烷基链主链，这使得它们难以生物降解。该项目的目的是开发高水平的，分泌的，重组生产的酶，我们已经发现和专利，可以影响这样的降解，并开始扩大我们的过程。
