Our Project's Model

This graph shows us that E.coli during adding catechol to media, diffuses quickly because of the high diffusion rate. Therefore you can see catechol concentration inintiates with a high value. Then our bacteria degrade catechol to 2-hydoxymuconate semialdehyde then it degrades to 2-oxopent 4-enoate then continues to 4-hydroxy 2-oxopentoonate, finally we get our last degraded product of pyruvate. Our paramaeters of this cycle shows us that. While our bacteria diffuses catechol in its cytosol, its enzymes starts to degrade catechol fast to obtain pyruvate.

SimBiology Results of our Kill-Switch Model:

How does our project work?

Totally degradation of PET to pyruvate is done by E. coli.

Who will our project help?

Our project will help the environment to become cleaner.

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.
