Conclusion
Through the use of a simple quantitative assay, it has been ascertained that E. coli, transformed with our construct has a significantly increased extracellular laccase activity when compared with a control cell line. Combined with the results from the scanning electron microscope, which indicate surface degradation of polyethylene in a relatively short timespan, indicates that this BioBrick holds powerful potential for the break down of polyethylene.
