The stench of feces can become everyday items you need? This is not science fiction, but was really a group of recently graduated from university young American entrepreneurs have achieved in the. This idea may sound incredible, but after careful study, but people have to admire the wonderful place it is creative. These young entrepreneurs in the organic fertilizer with micro-organisms to digest the carbon, turning it into plastic raw materials. The raw material of plastic products are discarded, and after about a year to be degraded. As a result, not only solve the problem of excreta disposal, but also reduce the pollution of the environment of plastic, plastic products and also reduce the dependence on oil.

    The "change manure into treasure," the idea is a Sacramento, California, a new small firms. Company called Micro-Mai Desi (Micromidas), 6 Principal members are graduated from University of California, Davis. 4 of them graduated from the Department of Chemistry, a graduate of the Department of Microbiology, as well as a graduate of Department of Building and Environment. Micro Mai Desi, CEO of Ô¼º²±ÈÈû¶û (JohnBissell) in school, he completed the training school of green technology entrepreneurs, and many other advanced entrepreneurship training program. Access to seed fund the establishment of the company, he led the company to participate in various competitions to promote the company's philosophy, and won many from the local to the national green technology awards. In the micro-Mai Desi, "green technology" is not just a slogan, but as the company's foundation and development goals.

    Division of labor to a variety of microorganisms

    People know that many micro-organisms are eating feces, which is a naturally occurring process. The feces into plastic raw materials, the key is how to select the appropriate microorganisms, rational use of this natural process. In accordance with the micro-Mai Desi CEO saying, "We do not use genetic improvement of today's popular technology, to create a 'Michael Jordan' type of super team; but to form a team to resolve with the use of tactical problems. "division of labor for different types of microorganisms, eat the most foul of the civil dirtiest water, arising out of the plastic material is non-polluting. Single, genetically modified bacteria, you need to strictly control the stability of the environment to survive, which requires the preparation of expensive ingredients. The micro-Mai Desi cultivated bacterial communities can survive in a variety of harsh environment, resistant to a variety of microbial invasion, as long as the waste of life with a steady stream, they can feed them.

    According to micro-Mai Desi official website, the digestibility of microbial community carbon uptake of organic fertilizer and put them into polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), as a "fat" stored in the "body" inside. Polyhydroxyalkanoate is a synthesis of many microbial cells can be polyester - a natural polymer of biological material, but also a from a variety of subunits (quaternary structure of protein composition of the total price of the smallest units) polymerization into the polyester. More than 150 species known subunits can be aggregated into PHA. By changing the location of key molecules in PHA and subunit type, made of plastic with the PHA can have different hardness and elasticity. All of the PHA is also common, that is, high temperature, UV, water, trap, these properties make this material has applications in many areas of value.

    PHA is usually common in today PHB (PHB) and poly-hydroxy valerate (PHV) in the combination. When these two substances in proportion to the time, the property is very close to the polypropylene (PP). Polypropylene is widely used, including various containers, including household utensils, auto parts and so on. Also, the polypropylene as raw material for production of equipment and more may have been adapted directly polyhydroxyalkanoate as raw materials for production. In other words, this comes from the stool into the plastic, it is easy to be used for production.
