| TEAM USU BACKGROUND
Utah State University is proud to be involved in the 2008 IGEM competition. This is the first year that USU has participated. |  |
| DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The increasing cost and negative environmental effect of fossil hydrocarbon-derived conventional plastics has escalated the need for economically realistic alternatives. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a class of microbially synthesized, biodegradable thermoplastics that exhibit material properties comparable to those of conventional plastics. The Utah State University IGEM team project is focused on creating an efficient system for monitoring PHA production in recombinant microorganisms. |  Your team picture |
