Carnivorous Plants: Nature's Unexpected Catalysts for Plastic Decomposition

Carnivorous Nepenthes and Sarracenia pitcher fluids hydrolyze PET and PBAT polyesters. Nepenthesin, an aspartic proteinase, is a key enzyme, showing comparable activity to known cutinases. This study highlights carnivorous plants as a novel source for efficient polyester degrading enzymes in plastic recycling.
