so i was just thinking of a maybe absurd idea...of creating plastic eating hybrid organisms...as you may know...a variety of plastic degrading micro-organisms do occur in nature...there was one found in the Amazon by Yale students),many are also found in mangroves and landfills....im talking about micro-organisms that actually prefer to use plastic as their sole energy source instead of your normal carbon sources....the question is,can one create a hybrid of 2 or more plastic degrading organisms to create an ultra plastic eating microbe....if so how to do it in a simple lab environment ..as in organism identification, DNA isolation, extraction, how do you find out which genes are responsible for what properties...and how do you know if these genes can be introduced in your host organism....i just wanna try to create a fungi-bacteria hybrid as a project....is it possible to do so in a crude laboratory?...please do try to give an explanation that is has detailed as possible.....looking forward to some mind blowing explanations....p.s do try to include some tutorials on creating crude hybrids with minimal resources....the biotech department in my college' is on a kind of budget...as the stupid government doesn't fund the biotechnology sector in goa,india....they prefer to fund other ''conventional courses''....i know how much trouble our teachers go through to get a simple vector....its really pitiful and sad...the only thing they try try to inculcate in the youth is how to steal money from hardworking citizens(sorry for the emotional meltdown)...so try to include as many tutorials as you can..:)))....
