Therefore, E.coli can recognize atrazine, recruit team workers, and degrade atrazine. Our team found a transporter of atrazine, which we call TRM. We also mutated the degrading enzyme, TrzN, making it better at degradation. We combined TRM and the TrzN to improve atrazine absorbance and degradation.

Atrazine, a naughty demon who plays around in the soil, is considerably hard to be eliminated. Its spell causes metabolic disorders in many species.
Our elf combined a smart atrazine radar, an amazing transporter, a recruiting system and a degrading enzyme to hunt down this die-hard. With our system, E.coli can recognize atrazine, recruit team members, and eliminate atrazine.
Our team found the brand new transporter, TRM, from the genome of a bacteria which can utilize atrazine as its only carbon source. With this transporter, the sensitivity of our system and the degrading efficiency are both improved. We also mutated the degrading enzyme, TrzN... more
