Lipases and Cutinases from Phytopathogenic and Saprobic Fungi in Plastic

Lipases and cutinases have had different applications in the food and textile industries, fuel production, and recently in processes that help the environment, such as plastic degradation. Biotechnological alternatives have been proposed to mitigate plastic residues, such as the production of biodegradable bioplastics that are based on biological and renewable resources and the biodegradation using enzymes capable of carrying out the depolymerization process, where cutinases and lipases from phytopathogenic and saprobic fungi play an important role.
