However, microparticules are so small that they get eaten and they can enter the food chain. How can we remove something that we can’t see by eyes ? That’s where we step in !
PlastiCure is a biological system designed to degrade PET (which is one of the most common plastic) and use the degradation products to synthesize bio-active compounds : we aim to transform plastic waste into a profitable life-saving drug : erythromycin A;
Description of the item 3 in construction.
This is where you can see which Biobricks, chassis organism and cells we used during the iGEM competition. Moreover, there is detailed informations about every parts we used : their name, their natural function and how we used them in our project PlastiCure.
During iGEM, we met a lot of people : scientists, journalists, politicians that helped us, talked to us and gave us tips. This chapter is where you’ll find every collaborations that we participated in, the mettings that we attended in during the summer and the philosophical work that we did on our project for the human practice.
