Compared to known PET-degrading esterases, PETase from I. sakaiensis shows higher activity at ambient temperature and on highly crystalline PET.

Our findings in this study demonstrate that I. sakaiensis can mediate the direct conversion of non-biodegradable PET into environment-friendly plastic.

The new species, Ideonella sakaiensis, breaks down the plastic by using two enzymes to hydrolyze PET and a primary reaction intermediate.
