Acknowledgements

Prof. Dr. Engin Umut Akkaya has provided us a very important chemical for our project: Catechol (1,2-benzenediol).

http://www.fen.bilkent.edu.tr/~eua/

Why did we choose this project?

The biodegradation of plastic bottles took thousands of years, and the degrading process emits toxic chemicals into the air. Our project aims to clean enviroment with the degredation of PET to pyruvate by E.coli. With this project,while the environment will be cleaned from PET, the E.coli would add pyruvate to the cell cycle and use it as a new source.
