Exeter iGEM 2014
Our project has two aims: To create an organism capable of effectively degrading environmental contaminants; and to create and improve synthetic tools for the iGEM database.
Our goal was to create a system capable of degrading environmental contaminants. Although we are working with TNT and Nitroglycerin, we aim to create a modular system which can be adapted to work on other chemical pollutants while still utilizing the same regulatory elements.
We are looking at some of the most commonly used regulators in iGEM to assess how reliable they are, by testing for otherwise unknown combinatorial effects.
We are also testing the fluorescent protein iLOV, which we think has the opportunity to become a more effective marker and tool than GFP.
These aspects of our project will come together to create an effective, synthetic, modular system capable of effective bioremediation.
