Project IntroductionCO2 emissions have recieved a lot of attention in modern times, due to concerns that high emission levels are facilitating global warming. Consequently, a lot of research is focused on ways of reducing CO2 emissions from industry, and ways of fixating atmospheric CO at a greater than normal rate. Our project is attempting to produce a BioBrick, which when placed inside photosynthetic bacteria, increases their rate of CO2 fixation. In order to achieve this, we first need to construct a BioBrick that allows inducible expression of non native genes in our chassis; |

Reporter BioBrickThe first stage of this project consists of creating a reporter BioBrick in order to confirm that we have are able to induce the expression of foreign genes in |
The reporter plasmid will use a fluorescent protein placed under the control of an indicuble promoter. This will allow us to easily verify that the plasmid works as intended inside |
