Our project addresses nitrate pollution in groundwater, a persistent issue in Germany since 2008. Nitrate poses health risks, especially to vulnerable populations. Existing preventive methods like "Wasser-bildung" lack effectiveness. We propose a novel denitrification system using enzymes from native bacteria, avoiding GMO release. Our approach involves catalytic enzymes, biochemical assays, and electrode-based electron supply. With growing fertiliser use and urban expansion, our biotechnology solution holds promise.

At the Grand Jamboree 2023 which took place from 2nd to 5th of November in Paris, we held our presentation within the bioremediation village, assessed the judging session and were able to secure a silver medal for our project! We are proud of what we achieved during the competition phase and want to thank everyone who supported our project's journey!

Furthermore, the Jamboree has been an amazing event with thousands of highly motivated and kind fellow scientists attending. We enjoyed connecting with other teams, listening to many interesting presentations and contributing to the event. Many thanks to all the participants and organizers for making this such a wonderful experience!
