Goodbye Azodye UCL iGEM 2014

WHO ARE WE?

We are University College London's iGEM 2014 team.

WHAT ARE WE DOING?

We are using Synthetic Biology to combat Azo Dye Pollution. AZO-DYES are the most common synthetic dye and are used everywhere, from food colouring to clothes. You're probably wearing clothes dyed with Azo-Dyes! But, when they get into waste water they're very toxic. Our team is engineering bacteria that degrade these dyes, using enzymes, to make them colourless and less harmful to the environment
