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.
