    About This Project

    Our team seeks to engineer a microorganism that will bind to the valuable copper-containing mineral chalcopyrite and separate it from the toxic, arsenic-containing mineral enargite. With the world supply of high quality copper decreasing every year, we need to start utilizing less pure sources of copper to meet our ever rising demands. The separation of chalcopyrite and enargite could allow us to utilize previous untapped sources of copper.
