Plants which degrade plastic?
Plants which degrade plastic?
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.
Bakterial flagella, moleculare hair-like structures, are equipped with a combination of enzymes that are able
to breakdown plastic molecules.

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).
