It will be great if this research advance and become a venture company like Euglena.

(If highly-efficient,) it'll be very interesting.

I feel that using solar energy is the best way to solve energy problems, so I hope you do well in the research.

Solar Battery

If you can make more energy with solar battery, it will be very useful.

Solar Battery

I thought the idea was really interesting. I see that efficiency goes down in the presence of oxygen. I hope you can solve this problem and do well in the competition. Good luck!

Changing the heading into Bacteria Biotechnology might be better.

Chloroplast is too big to fit in E. coli.

How about producing organic compound with photosynthetic bacteria in the upper layer, and making the lower layer oxygen-free?

Solar Battery

It might be efficient if you can produce organic matter from microbe carcass and waste in the soil.

Solar Battery

Bacteria-using solar battery seems very low-efficient.

If you know how to raise efficiency this would be interesting.

Pollen Allergy

I thought it would be better to make a patch that can stick the bacteria on the skin and absorb the allergen from the skin.

Pollen Allergy

Calculate the reaction velocity→it might be slow. Genetic engineering is scary. Adapt the cholesterol in the blood vessel?

Pollen Allergy

Y

Female

42

The problem is how you stabilize E. coli inside the body, but I think the idea is interesting.

Pollen Allergy

Y

21

The explanation was really easy to understand!

Pollen Allergy

Y

Good luck on curing the pollen allergy!

Pollen Allergy

If you can use E. coli and prevent the allergic symptoms, it'll be revolutionary.

Pollen Allergy

Y

Female

44

I heard that you cannot cure pollen allergy, so if this system becomes reality, I am very delighted.

Pollen Allergy

Y

Male

15

I have pollen allergy, so I would like to try this!

Pollen Allergy

Y

Male

15

I want to cure pollen allergy.

Pollen Allergy

Y

Male

50

Can't you also use it for other medicines?

Pollen Allergy

Y

Female

23

I think it's a great idea to make good use of E. coli in health care, which didn't have an important role in human life before.

Pollen Allergy

Y

Male

15

I have a pollen allergy, so I look forward for this new immunotherapy to become reality. I hope this treatment will be used widely in the world.

Pollen Allergy

Y

Female

18

I have pollen allergy, so I'm glad if it can be cured with E. coli. I hope this new treatment comes true!

Pollen Allergy

22

This project sounds very useful, so I hope it comes true one day.

Pollen Allergy

Y

Female

20

I thought it's very interesting idea! When you make E. coli produce the allergen, how long will the sequence be? If it's too long, it might be difficult for E. coli to make it.

Pollen Allergy

Y

Male

13

I have pollen allergy, so think it will save a lot of people if this treatment becomes reality.

Pollen Allergy

Y

I'm having a hard time with pollen allergy. Please make it come true!

Pollen Allergy

Y

Male

I really look forward for inventing a treatment using E. coli. This project is also interesting commercially.

Pollen Allergy

Y

Can you use this for preventing obesity? Do you crush mast cells?

Pollen Allergy

Y

Male

15

I have pollen allergy, so I look forward for the realization of this treatment. Also, I became very interested in iGEM.

Pollen Allergy

B

Male

18

Can you keep the E. coli alive inside the body by taking medicines?

Pollen Allergy

B

---

---

How about putting the allergen on the skin? (Last year's iGEM team UT-Tokyo did)

Pollen Allergy

B

Male

20

Isn't it hard to control the allergen amount?

Pollen Allergy

B

Male

27

There's already immunotherapy using rice.

Pollen Allergy

B

---

---

What's the advantage of using E. coli? Can you make it work inside the body? Isn't there any need for putting it in the blood vessel?

Pollen Allergy

B

Female

21

I thought it is dangerous to emit the allergen made by E. coli inside the body.

Pollen Allergy

B

Male

19

I think it's dangerous if the E. coli survive inside the body after the treatment is completed.

Pollen Allergy

B

Male

20

What's mast cell?

Pollen Allergy

B

---

---

I think the biggest advantage is that you only have to dose only once by using E. coli. However, you have to make E. coli able to work in a long span. Also, you have to think of a method to release the allergen gradually. E. coli cannot live for a long time, so you have think about that also.

Pollen Allergy

There was a sub-project of 2012 UT-Tokyo that dosed epitope sequence into the body instead of allergen.

Pollen Allergy

Allergen is not only one type. It’s hard to purify.

Pollen Allergy

I've heard that acute symptom occurred in dust immunotherapy. You have to be careful about that.

Pollen Allergy

B

Female

---

I'm receiving a treatment for immunotherapy right now, but dose is postponed when I'm in bad health. If you use E. coli for immunotherapy, you cannot manage these problems.

It might be interesting if you can apply the heat from sweat in other things too.

Lie Detector

Good luck on the research!

Lie Detector

Which way does E. coli move when the flagellum rotates? Straight or random?

Lie Detector

B

Male

60

It takes a long time for the device to detect a lie.

Lie Detector

It was hard to have a concrete image of this project.

Lie Detector

Can E. coli penetrate the surface tension?

Lie Detector

After ATP is released, can it walk by itself?

Lie Detector

23

Isn't there Na+ already in the medium? Is Na+ detectable?

Lie Detector

B

Female

23

What is the mechanism of the existent lie detector?

Lie Detector

B

Male

57

Is it possible to use a substance unique to sweat for sensing? What kind of device do you use for dropping?

Lie Detector

B

Male

20

You sweat on a hot day in summer or after exercising, but how do you distinguish those from the sweat caused by lying?

Lie Detector

B

Male

20

By integrating Na channel into E. coli flagellum, can you tell the difference between ON/OFF?

Lie Detector

B

Female

20

Is it possible to make a paste type lie detector?

Lie Detector

Male

17

I think you can make one other than using E. coli.

Lie Detector

Handling the threshold seems difficult.

Lie Detector

Male

20

It seems expensive.

Lie Detector

Can you use the same device many times? Or after using it once, do you have to through away?

Bank

Maybe the exchange of things can be used for communication.

Bank

It seems most feasible.

Bank

Maybe it can be used for solving the environmental pollution.

Bank

It might be more interesting if E. coli can collect many types of things.

I think it's difficult to replicate the bubble economy without yielding profits from accommodation.

Bank

20

Allowing to use the interest? Binding with phosphorus?

Bank

Male

24

(For the 2nd story) It'll be awesome if you can make a system importing the molecules not in use and when it becomes inconvenient, those molecules will be exported.

Bank

B

Male

50

Transporting DNA might be good.

Bank

B

Female

20

Why don't you do it with membrane protein?

Bank

B

Male

20

You have to make the poor E. coli send a signal also.

Bank

B

Male

18

It'll be interesting if you can exchange radioactive cesium.

Bank

B

---

---

I think E. coli divides when it's eutrophic, so you need to watch the borderline carefully.

Bank

B

---

---

Isn't it hard to exchange things without changing the E. coli's condition? I think you need a bacteria that prompts to induce things.

Bank

B

---

---

What kind of protein are you thinking to make? How about water purification?

Fertilizer

How are you planning to collect E. coli?

Fertilizer

I have no idea what the project is doing.

Fertilizer

Using the soil is okay, but I think you can collect more phosphate with WWTP activated sludge.

Fertilizer

B

---

---

I think there was a team in iGEM that collected phosphate in the past.

Fertilizer

Collecting phosphate in rice.

I didn't have any good image of E. coli… but now I know that it can make allergen and electricity which help our lives, and its image changed. I'll keep our hopes up on E. coli.
