<h3> Uploading pictures and files </h3>
+
<p> You must upload any pictures and files to the iGEM 2018 server. Remember to keep all your pictures and files within your team's namespace or at least include your team's name in the file name. </p>
+
 
+
 
+
<p>When you upload, set the "Destination Filename" to <b> T--YourOfficialTeamName--NameOfFile.jpg</b>. (If you don't do this, someone else might upload a different file with the same "Destination Filename", and your file would be erased!)</p>

<p>We have created these wiki template pages to help you get started and to help you think about how your team will be evaluated. You can find a list of all the pages tied to awards here at the <a href="https://2018.igem.org/Judging/Pages_for_Awards">Pages for awards</a> link. You must edit these pages to be evaluated for medals and awards, but ultimately the design, layout, style and all other elements of your team wiki is up to you!</p>

<h3>Tips</h3>
+
<p>This wiki will be your team’s first interaction with the rest of the world, so here are a few tips to help you get started: </p>
+
<ul>
+
<li>State your accomplishments! Tell people what you have achieved from the start. </li>
+
<li>Be clear about what you are doing and how you plan to do this.</li>

<li>You have a global audience! Consider the different backgrounds that your users come from.</li>
+
<li>Make sure information is easy to find; nothing should be more than 3 clicks away.  </li>
+
<li>Avoid using very small fonts and low contrast colors; information should be easy to read.  </li>
+
<li>Start documenting your project as early as possible; don’t leave anything to the last minute before the Wiki Freeze. For a complete list of deadlines visit the <a href="https://2018.igem.org/Calendar">iGEM 2018 calendar</a> </li>

Welcome to CCU_Taiwan Team!

Project Description


We are aiming to create eco-friendly ligneous cups. We hope that the cups we make are waterproof and heat-resistant; furthermore, they can be naturally decomposed. You might think why we waste our whole summer vacation on this little cup which would be thrown soon that people make the drink inside be empty? We will tell you the reason soon.


The most common stores in Taiwan are handmade drink stores. For us, these handmade drinks are part of our lives. These drinks are often packed in disposable paper cups that are coated with petrochemical, such as PP and PE, to make them waterproof. Nonetheless, these substances produce a large amount of paper that is difficult to be recycled, which causes serious pollution to our environment. Thus, we decide to create a cup coated with substitute which can be naturally decomposed in order to solve the problems.


Lignin, which can be found in most of the plants, is a polymer mainly composed of three kinds of monolignol: p-coumaryl alcohol (H), coniferyl alcohol (G), and sinapyl alcohol (S). The ratio of the three monolignols vary from species to species. These three monolignols can go through polymerization by adding two enzymes—peroxidase and laccase. Therefore, we aim to modify the yeast to produce these two enzymes. We use the enzyme to catalyze three monolignol and form high-purity lignin. We will make the most use of its waterproof characteristic to coat on the cups.


The highlights of our project are innovative as well as eco- friendly. We hope we can make the most use of lignin and do our best to protect the environment. With our lignin cups, everyone will be able to enjoy the convenience without polluting the Mother Earth.
