In this year’s iGEM project we fight global warming right at its source - the cows rumen. Using the powerful tools of synthetic biology we were able to reduce the methane levels through a genetically engineered <i>E. coli</i>.  </p>

E. Cowli - Fighting Climate Change - iGEM 2014 Team Braunschweig

E. Cowli - Fighting climate change at the source

Apart from our results with E. cowli there are certain other things we achieved during our work for this year’s competition and would like to share with you and the whole iGEM community. By doing so, we live up to one of the basic ideas behind iGEM - contributing BioBricks to the large collection called the Registry of Standard Biological Parts so that other teams can make use of them in the future.

As we would love to take home a little souvenir from the Giant Jamboree we also list here how we attempted to meet the medal requirements. These are criteria defining how award decisions are made in the competition, and we did our best to go for gold!
