POLICY&PRACTICE CHARACTERIZATION SAFETY ATTRIBUTIONS GALLERY PROTOCOLS

Our project mainly depends on Catechol (1,2-benzenediol) which is a chemical that come off at PET degredation.

* At the following picture, there is Catechol (1,2-benzenediol) present in Left tube. It proves that in presence of catechol there is a degredation process in k316003+j23108.

There is no Catechol (1,2-benzenediol) present in Right tube. It proves that in absence of catechol there is no degredation of PET in k316003+j23108.

This characterization contains parts that Imperial_College_London created in year 2010, we have proved that it works well and we aproved its function with our own construct of its use.

* At the following picture, the liquid is catechol (1,2 benzenediol) itself.

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.
