Team: Manchester. We are a team of undergraduate students from the University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University.



Recover • Remediate • Recycle

Bacterial microcompartments are organelles consisting of a protein shell that encases enzymes and other proteins

PPK is an enzyme that builds up a polyphosphate chain

PPX is an enzyme that breaks down the polyphosphate chain

Tagging PPK into microcompartments causes build up of polyphosphate and prevents polyphosphate degradation by PPX
