Our idea is to use bacteria to desalinate water - and be easy to remove afterwards. Here's how it will work:

  • The bacteria will be present in the salt/brackish water.
  • They will then take up the salt.
  • Once they have enough salt, a recombinase switch will be flipped. This will turn on the production of Gas Vesicles.
  • Gas vesicles are small, gas-filled structures that are produced by many species of cyano and halophillic bacteria. They reduce the density of the cell and enable it to float!

Visit the Wiki How To page for a complete list of requirements, tips and other useful information.

Tips

We are currently working on providing teams with some easy to use design templates.
In the meantime you can also view other team wikis for inspiration! Here are some very good examples

For a full wiki list, you can visit iGEM 2013 web sites and iGEM 2012 web sites lists.

This wiki will be your team’s first interaction with the rest of the world, so here are a few tips to help you get started:

  • State your accomplishments! Tell people what you have achieved from the start.
  • Be clear about what you are doing and what you plan to do.
  • You have a global audience! Consider the different backgrounds that your users come from.
  • Make sure information is easy to find; nothing should be more than 3 clicks away.
  • Avoid using very small fonts and low contrast colors; information should be easy to read.
  • Start documenting your project as early as possible; don’t leave anything to the last minute before the Wiki Freeze. For a complete list of deadlines visit the iGEM 2013 calendar
  • Have lots of fun!
