Fighting Environmental Contaminants through Biotechnology
Green Quorum
Directed Evolution
The Green Quorum project is aimed at improving our ability to recycle plastic and degrade forever chemicals by creating new organisms and enzymes that break down these pollutants.
The Problem
Environmental Contaminants such as PFAS and plastic resist natural degredation and have devastating effects on health and the environment.
OUR APPROACH
The Green Quorum project is aimed at improving our ability to recycle plastic and degrade forever chemicals by creating new organisms and enzymes that break down these pollutants.
Organisms That Degrade
Organisms that degrade paper have evolved from organisms with the ability to degrade and assimilate wood.
Plastics and PFAS
Plastics and PFAS are new man-made materials. There hasn't been enough time for such organisms to evolve naturally.
TECHNOLOGY
Our patented approach uses image analysis to select for organisms with the ability to grow on plastic, PFAS, and other difficult to break down chemicals as a sole carbon source. Using directed evolution techniques we optimize these organisms and improve their performance.
