The contamination of aquatic ecosystems with a multitude of poorly degradable hazardous substances by humans has been a problem since the industrial revolution. In the context of biochemical research we learn more and more about enzymes that catalyse the degradation of problematic substance such as antibiotics or hormones.

The contamination of aquatic ecosystems with a multitude of anthropogenic pollutants has been a problem since the industrial revolution. Antibiotics, hormones and various noxious substances threaten environmental health and are not effectively removed by conventional waste water treatment. We propose to employ transgenic plants which produce effectors for enzymatic degradation ([https://2013.igem.org/Team:TU-Munich/Project/Biodegradation BioDegradation]) or specific binding ([https://2013.igem.org/Team:TU-Munich/Project/Bioaccumulation BioAccumulation]) of pollutants. The autotrophic, sedentary, aquatic nature of the moss [https://2013.igem.org/Team:TU-Munich/Project/Physcomitrella ''Physcomitrella patens''] makes it an optimal chassis for a self-renewing, low-maintenance and cheap water filter. A light-triggered [https://2013.igem.org/Team:TU-Munich/Project/Killswitch kill switch] prevents unintended environmental spreading by limiting viability to places where the spectrum of sunlight is appropriately filtered. Furthermore, we have developed a device to [https://2013.igem.org/Team:TU-Munich/Results/Implementation implement our filter] in an aquatic environment, investigated the application of this new technology and examined its [https://2013.igem.org/Team:TU-Munich/Results/Economics economic feasibility]. Based on our results, the PhyscoFilter may become a game-changing approach to improve global water quality in an affordable and sustainable fashion.

Due to the huge extent of the underlying problem we propose the employment of transgenic plants, such as the moss [https://2013.igem.org/Team:TU-Munich/Project/Physcomitrella ''Physcomitrella patens''], that produce the respective [https://2013.igem.org/Team:TU-Munich/Project/Biodegradation effectors for the degradation]. The sedentary, aquatic nature of plants makes them an optimal chassis for a self-renewing and cheap water filter. We believe that this approach can change the global water quality in a sustainable fashion.

PhyscoFilter – Clean different.

The contamination of aquatic ecosystems with a multitude of anthropogenic pollutants has been a problem since the industrial revolution. Antibiotics, hormones and various noxious substances threaten environmental health and are not effectively removed by conventional waste water treatment. We propose to employ transgenic plants which produce effectors for enzymatic degradation (BioDegradation) or specific binding (BioAccumulation) of pollutants. The autotrophic, sedentary, aquatic nature of the moss Physcomitrella patens makes it an optimal chassis for a self-renewing, low-maintenance and cheap water filter. A light-triggered kill switch prevents unintended environmental spreading by limiting viability to places where the spectrum of sunlight is appropriately filtered. Furthermore, we have developed a device to implement our filter in an aquatic environment, investigated the application of this new technology and examined its economic feasibility. Based on our results, the PhyscoFilter may become a game-changing approach to improve global water quality in an affordable and sustainable fashion.
