Biodegradation - PAH degradation and DBT desulfurization

  • State of the art

Natural biodegradation is a very slow process but indispensible in environment restoration. Previous scaffold system has been used to accelerate biosynthetic pathway. This year, iGEM team SJTU-BioX-Shanghai is trying for the first time to recruit scaffold system to accelerate biodegradation pathway. It offered a new direction in the application of scaffold system.

  • Aims

To testify the feasibility of ‘’’Membrane Accelerator’’ in Biodegradation Pathway

To accelerate degradation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH)

To accelerate degradation of Dibenzothiophene (DBT) desulfurization


  • Achievements

A novel concept is proposed, which is to apply scaffold system to facilitate biodegradation pathway

Two well-studied biodegradation pathways are selected, which could potentially benefit environment restoration


Biodegradation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon(PAH)

Biodesulfurization of Dibenzothiophene (DBT)
