Having passed the first stage in the research project competitions organized by Tübitak for high school students throughout Türkiye, and qualified to participate in the Türkiye finals in the regional exhibition after being selected for the regional exhibition, our chemistry project won the incentive award by entering the top four. In the project on the investigation of the biodiesel production capacity of Halotolerant Bacillus australimaris at different salt concentrations, biodiesel production was carried out by breaking down lipids in waste vegetable oils by means of lipase enzyme obtained from halotolerant bacteria developed at different salt concentrations. We deeply congratulate our students Berrak DEMİR and Miray ÖZCAN and our advisor teacher Elif YILMAZ, who took part in the project, and wish them continued success in their work.
