RE: Bioremediation: Living Cleaners
Hi. Excellente post. I teaching environmental microbiology and I know a little about biorremediation. I'm interested in role of microorganism to remediate the environment. The past year, with an student, I developed a study about bacteria whit potential to degradation of polyethilene terephtalate. Congratulation by your post.
Thank you @lepapillonvzla, that sounds very interesting! Were you able to have some success with the PET degrading bacteria? I found some articles that mention a couple strains that produce the necessary enzymes for PET breakdown, such as Ideonella sakaiensis, and cutinase from Fusarium oxysporum that was built into E. Coli.
