Behind every good team is an even better team - same with us this year. Without you our project would not have been realized this way. Thank you for having our back and showing us what is important when building a science project.

Introduction
E.coli:
A synthetic cluster of 6 genes from different organisms (Acidovorax avenae, E. coli, Pseudomonas sp., Rhodococcus sp., S. cerevisiae) used for the cleavage of melamin to ammonia and carbon dioxide. The ammonia diffuses out of the cell.
S. cerevisiae:
With the gene ptxD from P. putida, S. cerevisiae converts the unusable phosphite into phosphate. The phosphate exporter XPR1 from H. sapiens may help to increase the extracellular phosphate concentration.
S. elongatus
Converting sucrose, which is naturally produced by photosynthesis, into fructose and glucose by an invertase encoded by the gene invA. Glucose will be secreted into the media with the help of an exporter, encoded by glf, and thus providing enough glucose for the whole Trinity. The genes are taken from the Z. mobilis genome.
