ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a novel microorganism and a method for degrading plastics or for collecting monomers through biological treatment using the microorganism. The present invention also relates to a novel polyester-based plastic-degrading enzyme and a polynucleotide encoding the enzyme, as well as a method for degrading plastics or for collecting monomers using the enzyme or a microorganism expressing the enzyme.
