<p>We are using Synthetic Biology to beat <b>AZO DYE</b> 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, dumped from textile factories, they're very toxic. Our team is engineering bacteria that break down these dyes by producing a group of powerful enzymes. These bacteria make the Dye colourless and safe for the environment</p> | <p>We are using Synthetic Biology to beat <b>AZO DYE</b> Pollution.
