Implication

Experimental study demonstrates sustainable denim dyeing using engineered glycosyltransferase PtUGT1 and light, highlighting reduced environmental impacts.

Key Points

Engineered glycosyltransferase PtUGT1 overcomes substrate inactivation to enable scalable synthesis of indican precursor for blue denim dyeing.
Process engineering pairs the engineered enzyme with a mild light-driven dyeing process, eliminating harsh reducing agents and alkaline chemicals.
Comparative life-cycle assessments indicate that the chemoenzymatic route significantly reduces environmental impacts with only modest cost increases.
