We are working on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic degradation through the use of the enzyme PETase. We plan to increase the efficiency of PETase by binding it to bacterial cellulose. The cellulose acts as a net for the PET, hence our project name PET NET.

We are working hard in the lab to get results for our wiki! If you have any questions about our projects or have collaboration opportunities, please email us at umarylandigem@gmail.com.
