Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) degradation by enzymatic hydrolysis is significant for addressing plastic pollution and fostering sustainable waste management practices. Identifying thermophilic and thermostable PET hydrolases is particularly crucial for industrial bioprocesses, where elevated temperatures may enhance enzymatic efficiency and process kinetics. In this study, we present the discovery of a novel thermophilic and thermostable PETase enzyme named Sis, obtained through metagenomic sequence-based analysis.
