Our team was forming for a very long time, but in the end only the most talented, diversive and motivated stood, overcoming many difficulties by gaining support of the best mentors on their way to victory.Read More
Read MoreExactly laboratory work is responsible for the fact that the theory can become a reality. If in theory everything should go smoothly and without any errors, then in practice there are many factors that can prevent a theory from becoming true.
Read MoreOur team has held many different events, ranging from educational events for children in kindergartens, to collecting recycled materials with the help of volunteers. We were happy to work with the public, involving people into the project. We believe that together we can raise the plastic pollution awareness, put it into action, and make the world a little better.
Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues. Our team proposes to use synthetic biology to solve the problem of
plastic contamination.
Read MoreА bacterium Ideonella sakaiensis is able to use plastic as its major energy and carbon source. It’s done thanks to two enzymes (PETase and MHETase), which convert PET efficiently into its two environmentally benign monomers.
We take the genes that synthesize these enzymes and insert them into Pseudomonas aeroginosa bacterium.
Due to the fact that P.aeroginosa survives in harsh environmental conditions, it is able to adapt to dramatic temperature changes in Kazakhstan.
Plastikaieinsis will help to solve the problem of plastic contamination in our country.
