What Do we do?

Abstract

The chemical production of indigo and its derivatives will result in heavy contamination of the environment. In order to improve our environment, we use genetically modified Escherichia coli to produce derivatives of indigo such as 6,6-dibromoindigo, forming indigo dyes without generating large amounts of wastewater and harmful chemicals. In addition, in order to respond to the green and sustainable development, we apply 6,6-dibromoindigo on the dye-sensitized solar cells to release the heavy load on semiconductor production. Also, this method gives a new way to synthetic biology and industrial engineering.
