degrade PET plastic

The purpose of the superPETase gene is to degrade PET plastic in the ocean through cyanobacteria. New research has discovered the bacteria Ideonella sakaiensis which has the capability to break down PET by producing the protein PETase.Our solution involves using the PETase gene and modified it in order to be expressed and secreted in cyanobacteria at its maximum potential. Once secreted by cyanobacteria, PET plastic degradation will occur. Our goal is to clean our oceans, we will be working in the near future for our solution to be approved and released in the marine environment.
