AB  - Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are a green substitute for conventional plastics,
owing to their biological origin, biodegradability, biocompatibility and structural
diversity. However, environmental biodegradation of PHA is achieved in a time
frame of several months to several years, depending on environmental conditions,
and properties of both PHA and PHA degrading enzymes (PhaZ) [1]. Taking into
account the high production cost of PHA, landfilling at the end of life is not likely to
be cost-effective, so enzymatic biodegradation as an alternative offers an ecofriendly
bio-cyclable route to cost-effective PHA. Our study aims to tailor PhaZ
properties to create suitable biocatalysts for the industrially relevant time frame and
operating conditions. In order to do so, we decided to randomize PhaZ sequences
and functionally screen enzyme variants for accelerated PHA degradation and
improved biocatalyst stability. Up to this day, various phaZ genes have been mutated
solely for mechanistic purposes eg. Catalytic residue identification, and elucidation
of the substrate recognition process [2,3,4,5,6,7].
