Quorum sensing is a means for bacteria to communicate with one another. This signaling is density-dependent, and when a large enough number of organisms are present, they even coordinate gene expression. A famous example is Vibrio fischeri, which gives the Hawaiian bobtail squid its eerie glow. When a large enough concentration of Vibrio fischeri come together in the squid's light-producing organ, or photophore, they communicate by quorum sensing and all express the luciferase gene, resulting in beautiful bioluminescence. Quorum sensing is largely dependent upon the production of N-acyl Homoserine Lactones or AHLs. The 2014 Clemson iGEM Team worked to develop a system to detect the presence of AHLs for better study of quorum sensing and biofilm interactions. This system can be readily adapted to detect any number molecules and thus provide a flexible tool for microbiologists.

Tips

We are currently working on providing teams with some easy to use design templates.
In the meantime you can also view other team wikis for inspiration! Here are some very good examples

For a full wiki list, you can visit iGEM 2013 web sites and iGEM 2012 web sites lists.

This wiki will be your team’s first interaction with the rest of the world, so here are a few tips to help you get started:

  • State your accomplishments! Tell people what you have achieved from the start.
  • Be clear about what you are doing and what you plan to do.
  • You have a global audience! Consider the different backgrounds that your users come from.
  • Make sure information is easy to find; nothing should be more than 3 clicks away.
  • Avoid using very small fonts and low contrast colors; information should be easy to read.
  • Start documenting your project as early as possible; don’t leave anything to the last minute before the Wiki Freeze. For a complete list of deadlines visit the iGEM 2013 calendar
  • Have lots of fun!
