At the core of our project lies the concept of promoting circular economies within synthetic biology research. Rather than merely focusing on reducing nutrient inputs, we wanted to convert this waste into high-value products. We aim to engineer V. Natreigens into a single-cell protein powerhouse by turning waste nitrates from polluted water systems into ammonia which is integral for amino acid production. These amino acids make SCPs a versatile supplement for animal feed. This not only helps in reducing the nutrient load in water bodies to reduce algal blooms, but also adds economic value.
