Click on the tabs to the members of each lab group and what part of the project they have been working with.

The Kit-y Lacs have been working with the laccases from the iGEM distribution kit, CotA and CueO, as well as the catechol-1,2-dioxygenase. These enzymes are the main degradation machinery in our system.
