Enzymatic Flagellulose
Enzymatic Flagellulose
This year’s iGEM project of the Berlin team is all about plastic -
to be specific: microplastic and the clearance of our water with the aid of Synthetic Biology.
The idea is to build a modular filter system for wastewater treatment plants which is able to degrade plastic.
Bacterial flagella, moleculare hair-like structures, are equipped with a combination of enzymes that are able
to breakdown plastic molecules.
Project
Projekt erklaerung.
Team
Our team is made up of 10 undergraduates and postgraduates from different disciplines as well as our supervisors. The iGEM Team Berlin 2015 is an assembly of highly motivated students from different universities. Due to the multidisciplinarity our team is able to find different strategies to solve complex problems in synthetic biology. Under the direction of Prof. Dr. Nediljko Budisa group leader of the Biocatalysis Group at the TU-Berlin. Our lab is located at the Müller-Breslau-Straße 10, 10623 Berlin (Germany).
Safety
Our country uses a four-part „Safety Level“ rating system for laboratories. Level 4 is used for the most dangerous organisms. This is equivalent to the WHO system. The Safety Level of our lab is Level 1 (low risk).
