Plast"e.co": Transforming Plastic into Biofuel

Can we mitigate plastic pollution and simultaneously benefit our community? We are bioengineering E. coli containing genes for PETase, MHETase, aldA, fucO, and adhE. These genes will enable the conversion of PET plastic into Ethanol. This will reduce plastic pollution and provide a sustainable source of energy for rural communities in Peru as well as a less polluted environment for all living species.
