Finally, after long assiduous efforts , A Japanese research team identified a bacterium which is capable of breaking down plastic -polyethylene terephthalate (PET). This bacterium,named as Ideonella sakaiensis 201-F6 ,degrades PET using two enzymes that act on it in sequence. First, the bacterium adheres to PET and produces an intermediate substance through hydrolysis. The second enzyme then works with water and acts on this intermediate substance to produce the two monomers — ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid — used for making PET through polymerisation.
This innovation shows Japan's adherence to Kyoto Protocol and seriousness towards environment conservation and sustainable development goals.
This serious issue hassled the globe. India too has been suffering badly from climate change for a long time. This is the time when India should make its bilateral relationship with Japan better in fields of science and technology, research development and knowledge exchange.
