Description
We are actively trying to plastic solution and its negative impacts on living organisms. Plastic affects the algae negatively impacts its natural way of living. We are trying to find a solution for algae and plastic where it won't be harmful and cause harmful bacteria. We are actively ting to create plastic degrading algae. This will help the littering in water while giving it something to feed on. It will also help other living organisms from being caught or affected by it. To solve this, w care trying to find algae that will degrade plastic while also introducing its DNA and Protein to support it. Some clones work, while others don't. So trying to find the right way to clone and getting positive DNA is the goal. We hope this will help the active pollution of plastic on the planet and how its affects the earth and organisms/ecosystems around the planet.
