<p align="justify">In huge filter systems CPX-'''Sporo'''beads could be put into place to mechanically filter microscopic plastic particles out of the water. Such specific filtration would be superior to blanket filtration systems, which also remove living phytoplankton important to ocean ecosystems. To prevent the beads from being released into the sea and to ensure the plastic be removed from the water, the '''Sporo'''beads could be attached to membranes in these filter systems. Then the '''Sporo'''beads would need to not only display CPX but also a membrane binding or spore binding protein on their surface.</p>
