"Plastic tastes good" --- Yeast

A brief description

This March our team paid much attention to an article ‘A bacterium that degrades and assimilates poly (ethylene terephthalate)’published in Science in the same month. A new kind of bacteria that can decompose PET was found and studied in detail. We plan to express its unique genes in some commonly used mode organisms such as yeasts and E.colis to enhance its activities of decomposition significantly since they are relatively low at present.
