It exhibits high toxicity to aquatic life and amphibians and is recognized as an endocrine disruptor by the US EPA. Even though it is banned in over 60 nations, Atrazine remains widely used in other countries including the US, Canada, and Australia. Atrazine persists in soil for months or even years and eventually runs off into groundwater where it degrades at an even slower rate. The enzyme pathway AtzA-F has shown the ability to degrade atrazine into less harmful compounds. We aim to express these enzymes in the microalgae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, utilizing its ability to handle large genetic constructs and its resilience in aquatic and soil environments.
