1-(2-Hydroxyethyl) Ester, 1,4-Benzenedicarboxylic Acid could be used to condition bacteria to enable it to target polymer polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
ChEBI: 4-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)carbonyl]benzoic acid is a dicarboxylic acid monoester that resulting from the formal condensation of one of the carboxy groups of terephthalic acid with one of the hydroxy groups of ethylene glycol. It is functionally related to a terephthalic acid and an ethylene glycol. It is a conjugate acid of a 4-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)carbonyl]benzoate.
