🦠 Some microbes thrive in extreme places like salty Andes lakes & rocky shores.
BLUETOOLS is studying how they survive UV & dryness, searching for genes & enzymes that can be useful for anti-fouling, plastic degradation & more.

Sampling Environment: Waste Environments

Bluetools is studying polluted areas where microbes adapt and thrive. These tiny organisms could help clean waste, break down plastics, or even lead to new cosmetics.
