OpenPETase

プラごみ問題を市民によるバイオテクノロジーで解決することを目指すNPO法人です。 東京を拠点に、社会人による社会人のためのバイオ実験を実施するほか、バイオの知識の認知向上を図る多様な企画を予定しています。 DIY bio. Degrade plastic

It takes centuries for plastics to decompose by Nature; millenniums to form mineral pigments. Pigment formation turns out to highly dependable on pH.

bacteria that we’ll look closer during Jun 13th workshop https://t.co/NZjpGCKFFN belongs to Firmicutes phylum, known to adapt to gut microbiota. I.sakaiensis & E.coli which we’ve been dealing with, belong to Proteobacteria phylum. #dnasequencing #synbio #plasticpollution #biology

We identified a prospective bacteria from recent DNA barcoding workshop (https://t.co/Bb18EF9T1r). Its genome suggests a protein (yellow) that might shape like PETase (blue). #dnasequencing #synbio #onlineworkshop #plasticpollution #biology

Sequel to Barcoding workshop: we’ve got promising DNA sequence results! Seems to suggest a likely new strain of bacteria that degrades polystyrene plastic. Come join us on Jun 13, book your seat at https://t.co/NZjpGCKFFN

After months of planning, we successfully hold the very first workshop at London. Aim to identify DNA of bacteria that potentially digests polystyrene plastic. Write up here https://t.co/Bb18EF9T1r #biohacking #plasticfree #syntheticbiology #microbiology #citizenscience

Today is UK COVID Day of Reflection. While we mourn for past victims of Covid, may we also reflect on future of science communication. Essay at https://t.co/0Zn27052hO #coviddayofreflection

Join us to barcode DNA of bacteria inside waxworm that eats plastics. London Apr 11-12. Details at https://t.co/qVU0QZH81S

Ahead of festive season, we will together construct a paper model of a protein called Tif6, which looks like a wreath. #canarywharf #nobelprize #synbio

@chrisezekiel introduced Eden Dock at local newspaper Wharf Life. I couldn’t agree more that life is more than digital immersion.

Prediction of #Nobel winner in Chemistry next week: any take on scientists related to #dna sequencing? a topic we’re running a in person discussion on Oct 30 at #london🇬🇧 Come join us.

[OpenPETase @OpenPETase]

Last call, book discussion on #plastic eaters, next week Aug 28th at #canarywharf Details at https://t.co/jmIOF2BcvD

The fictional plastic-eater is a mutant of B.prodigiosus. It is quite a different bacteria from real-life I.sakaiensis in terms of family tree. Come join us to discuss this and more at next event https://t.co/jmIOF2BcvD

“Mutant 59:The plastic-eaters”, published in the 70s depicts a fictional bacterium that devoured plastic products. 40yr on, an actual bacterium was discovered at a dump site. If you’re in #London come join me for book discussion. Details: https://t.co/jmIOF2BcvD

I visited HELLO BRAIN exhibition at Francis Crick Institute. It reminded me about neurological impairment in Niemann-Pick type C, thus inspired my write-up. https://t.co/WKgAklW9ZE

@micro_jo @_RobbieMoore I did my as well.
