Laccalicious have been working with the NahR/Psal promoter system that regulates the expression of our degrading enzymes, as well as reporter genes that indicate that PAH:s are being degraded.
The Biosurfers have tried to express rhamnolipids, biosurfactants that dissolve aggregates of PAH:s and allow more interactions with our degrading enzymes.
Group 4 have tried to incorporate the naphthalene degradation pathway from Psudomonas putida into our system.
