Eat Coli

People tend to fear bacteria and oppose genetic modification, and thus synthetic biology. Our attempt on a novel outreach approach will teach the audience facts about bacteria, DNA and GMO in a fun and participatory way.

The Untapped Food Resource of the Century

Edible coli is a proposal for a sustainable food source. A modified strain of the bacteria, Escherichia coli, will provide the optimal quantities of nutrition a human needs, by degrading otherwise non-degradable material for the human body.

First step is the production of a nutritional protein, the OneProt, and the biosynthesis of essential fatty acids – additionally, it will carry the appealing touch of lemon flavor.

The Nutrition Generator, a custom designed, innovative and revolutionary cultivation tank will ensure an on-going amplification of the Edible coli products, easy to handle and drain from.

Could the world live off of microorganisms?

Let's get it on!
