Crate diggers\nand and vinyl junkies have amassed a permanent legacy of human culture\ninadvertently detrimental to all living and non-living matter- in the form of PVC-\npolyvinyl chloride discs or commonly known as vinyl records made from\nprehistoric bio-matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The EXTINCTION DISCO SCOBY is a collection of\nmicrobial consortia that colonise records and degrade the PVC into\nhydro-carbons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Much like a traditional scoby, this EXTINCTION\nDISCO SCOBY is a D.I.Y science kit, a microbial culture to be shared between\nneighbours, friends &amp; family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PSEUDOMONAS PUTIDA OCHROBACTUM SP. ACINOBACTER\nSPP. bacteria make use of a plasmid encoded enzyme to degrade PVC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The plasmids are manipulated by the insertion of florescent reporter genes\u2013 as enzymes are expressed, the bacteria also produces a fluorescent protein. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The vinyl itself becomes transformed into a\n&#8216;disco disc\u2019 \u2013 a multi-fluorescent cellulose disc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>V.1 Audrey Ryback &amp; Sneha Solanki<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bio Design LabMay 2019Dr Naomi Nakayama, Edinburgh Research and speculative concept for a system to&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1879,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":354,"footnotes":""},"categories":[44,43,40,29,1,24,2,19],"tags":[39],"class_list":["post-1849","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-co","category-x","category-virus","category-bio-remediation","category-circular-design","category-contamination","category-diy-bio","category-micro-organisms","tag-project"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electronicartist.net\/work_space\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1849","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electronicartist.net\/work_space\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electronicartist.net\/work_space\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electronicartist.net\/work_space\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electronicartist.net\/work_space\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1849"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.electronicartist.net\/work_space\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1849\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2078,"href":"https:\/\/www.electronicartist.net\/work_space\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1849\/revisions\/2078"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electronicartist.net\/work_space\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1879"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electronicartist.net\/work_space\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1849"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electronicartist.net\/work_space\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1849"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electronicartist.net\/work_space\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1849"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
