RE: Scientists accidentally create mutant enzyme that eats plastic bottles The breakthrough, spurred by the discovery of plastic-eating bugs at a Japanese dump, could help solve the global plastic pollution crisis

Utilizing a modified enzyme in an industrial process is one thing. But, releasing it into the environment for accelerated plastic breakdown might be opening another can of worms. Unintended consequences anyone?
