Module 3: Degradation

Modelling

Our gene network model for this module shows the amount of laccase produced by our bacteria. We have used this prediction to find out how many bacteria would be required per cubic meter of sea water in order to effectively degrade polyethylene-based plastics.

Number Reaction Notes
R1 PE + POPex ↔ PEPOPex Pops have 1000 times greater tendency to adhere to plastic than float free in the ocean
R2 POPex ↔ POPin Based on membrane permeability: diffusion gradient
R3 POPin + mRNA.Nahr → POPin.mRNA.Nahr The chemical structure/size of POPs is similar to salycilate which is the original compound that react to mRNA.Nahr -> 0 (??)
R9 0 → mRNA.Nahr
R4 POPexmRNANahr → POPexmRNANahr.Psal
R5 POPexmRNANahr.Psal → Lin.mRNA 0.053 - transcription rate of Laccase in molecules/sec (for laccase size 1500 bp, transcription rate in E.coli 80bp/sec
R6 Lin.mRNA → Lin 0.053 - translation rate of Laccase in molecules/sec (for laccase size 500 aa, translation rate in E.coli 20aa/sec)
