+Biodegradation of waste PET: A sustainable solution for dealing with plastic pollution.

+[[!pmid 31646721 desc="Cites that “the use of surfactants can enhance PET
+degradation at least by a factor of 120”. Points that “isolation and analysis
+of other PET‐degrading organisms and enzymes from high‐salt environment are
+also important for the biodegradation of waste PET directly in the ocean”."]]

+[[Oikopleura]] can ingest microplastics and participate to their sedimentation
+([[Katija and coll., 2017|28835922]], [[Choy and coll., 2019|biblio/31171833]]).
+
+To do: read Furukawa M, Kawakami N, Oda K, Miyamoto K (2018) Acceleration of
+enzymatic degradation of poly(ethylene terephthalate) by surface coating with
+anionic surfactants. Chem Sus Chem 11: 4018–4025
+
+Hiraga, Taniguchi, Yoshida, Kimura and Oda K proposed in
+[[2019|biblio/31646721]] that PET-degrading organisms can be the foundation for
+a biological recycling of plastic. They also underlined that salt-tolerating
+enzymes would be needed for bioremediation of oceans.
