Demonstrate/Results
Results
We have given mealworms the ability to degrade PET into usable soil in addition to Styrofoam
Future plans for the project:
Add MHET to the list of plastic the mealworm could digest
Considerations for replicating the experiments:
We are considering replicating the experiments to better our results.
Achievements:
Our project suggested a plausible solution to the problem of excess plastic waste that harm the eco-system.
Success:
Failure:
Accidently, I put my hand over the plate on which I was working, and since the foreign particles falling from my hand mixed with the DNA I was inserting, result showed multiplicity of blotches instead of a single strain.
