Fracking Run-Off Detector
Fracking is a controversial process that is used widely to extract natural gas from underground deposits. However this process results in potentially toxic runoff. Our goal is to create a bacteria that could identify the toxic runoff thus notifying people of the danger. We are using a catechol breakdown gene that will convert catechol into a yellow waste product, allowing contamination to be easily visualized.
