iGEM HU Berlin . The worldwide plastic pollution of our environment poses a growing threat to humankind. We, as a team of young aspiring scientists, want to combat this issue. By modifying the freshwater algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii we are trying to develop a new, evironment-friendly way of recycling the most common plastic, polyethylene therephtalate (PET). Brace yourself, plastic pollution! We are coming for you!
