Objectiu
The aim of our project is to create a biological alternative for the disinfection of contaminated water.
First, we intend to demonstrate the antimicrobial effectiveness of colicin G, colicin H and microcin C51. These proteins are produced and used naturally by the bacteria to compete with related bacteria killing them in a specific way.
The polypeptides activity is dependent on three-dimensional structure, based on it, we want to control their activity by changing the pH of the water, for this reason, we have been developing a cynechocystis study, which is capable of altering the pH as a result of its growth and proliferation.
to eliminate pathogenic bacteria from contaminated water, using our engineering knowledge, we have designed a system of pipes, membranes and pumps, allowing effectively and safely contaminated water disinfection.
