Halalkalibacterium halodurans

So obviously, this is, like, a big problem.

And our idea was to modify a strand of Bacillus halodurans to produce a molecule called 3-HKA, and we're just exploring, like, how that could work.

And it was, like, really cool to just work with other students in doing that, and we just learned about, like, how much scientific research goes into, like, finding a potential solution and just understanding, understanding the biology to, like, identify a problem and, like, think about how we could create a system that would work and, like, that was tangible.

So it was pretty cool.
