Applications of BBa_K4881027

This part was initially used for the project PlastE.co from the team FDR-HB-Peru to be transformed into E. coli cells. This device is the first step in transforming PET plastic into ethanol, as it will break down PET into ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid inside the cells.

This device could be used in projects as part of a plasmid for other organisms to biodegrade PET plastic to ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. Thus contributing to the better management of solid waste such as plastic. Also, this part could be enhanced and modified to maximize the expression of these proteins and accelerate the process of PET degradation. In addition to that, the reporter gene of this part needs improvement, as the pink chromoprotein is not expressed by the E. coli cells after transformation.
