Subteams
Construction
The construction team works on a realization of a reverse microbial fuel cell (rMFC). The challenge is to reduce a mediator at the electrodes in one reactor. In the second reactor the reduced mediator has to come in contact with the cells.
Mediators
A mediator must have the ability to be reducable by electricity at the electrodes and must have perfect constraints for an uptake of the cell. These constraints are for example the size to pass the first membrane or there has to exist the right genes for oxidation in the cell.
CO2-fixation
This subteam works with the transformation of a heterotroph organism to an autotroph organism. The aim is to realize the whole Calin cycle. The main focus lies on the use of the carboxysome.
Production of isobutanol
For a proof of concept one team works on the production of isobutanol. In theory there are more carbon sources which can be used by producing pyruate. This work bases on the work of iGEM Team Formosa 2011 and 2012.
Homepage and Wiki
The homepage and wiki team publishes new information about the team and the project on both webpages.
Social Media and Design
Our social media and design team is responsable for facebook and twitter where our latest information are published in addition with some pictures. Additionally they are designing all our project graphics for presentations and webpages.
Rathenau - Synenergene
Our iGEM team participates at the Synenergene project of the Rathenau Institute. In cooperation we work on some future scenarios for our project. This subteam has contact to different firms which could participate at the realization of our project.
