  • COMPOSITIONS, DEVICES, AND METHODS INVOLVING DEGRADATION OF CYANURIC ACID
    Publication number: 20150353399
    Abstract: This disclosure describes compositions, devices, and methods relating to removal of cyanuric acid from a sample. Generally, the compositions include a cell that expresses at least one enzyme that degrades cyanuric acid and a matrix material that covers at least a portion of the cell. Generally, the methods include contacting the sample with the composition, or a device that includes the composition, and allowing the enzyme of the composition to degrade cyanuric acid in the sample.
