-
<li>Make sure information is easy to find; nothing should be more than 3 clicks away.  </li>
 
-
<li>Avoid using very small fonts and low contrast colors; information should be easy to read.  </li>
 
-
<li>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 <a href="">iGEM 2013 calendar</a> </li>

Quorum Sensing

Squid.jpg


Glowy.jpg

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.
