Fungi Fusion tackles plastic degradation

Categories: Updates

This semester, the Carter lab hosted four students from the Charlotte Early Engineering College as they worked on a mock start-up. They worked in the lab culturing various common fungi on plastic and media to investigate plastic degradation. Congrats to Nathan, Sidney, Max, and Kylie on a winning presentation at their Senior Expo showing off their Fungi Fusion prototype!

Four students in red tops, black pants, and black baseball caps stand in front of a table with various mushrooms and contraptions. The sign behind them says from plastic pollution to natural solution.
