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.
Question?
