BactAir

Project Overview
About
BactAir is an innovative solution addressing environmental pollution caused by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), toxic by-products from industrial combustion. Utilising advanced biological engineering, BactAir has designed a synthetic system for PAH detection and degradation in Escherichia coli. The system activates a metabolic pathway when exposed to PAHs, producing a fluorescent protein as a biosensor. The project integrates catabolic enzymes for PAH breakdown and incorporates a mathematical model to validate its effectiveness. BactAir serves as both a biofilter and biosensor, offering a sustainable method to combat PAH pollution.
