<p class=definition><b>Body malodor has been a problem for humans engaging in social interactions throughout history, and is caused by skin bacteria metabolizing sweat into odorant compounds. Currently, people can either mask body odor with perfumes, or by preventing sweat using an antiperspirant. </b></p>
+
<p class=definition><b>Body odor is caused by the metabolic action of bacteria on human sweat. Existing deodorants are antibiotic - they kill all skin bacteria including neutral and beneficial species. Where body odor carries a social stigma, alternatives to deodorant are few. </b></p>
-
<p class=definition>The Paris-Bettencourt iGEM team aims to provide a third, more natural way, to put an end to body malodor using synthetic biology. Currently, there are four ongoing projects targeting armpit, foot, fish, as well as old person odor. The techniques used to eliminate the odor for each case will involve replacing malodorous bacteria and the compounds they produce with non-malodor producing bacteria. The team is also using bacteria to produce a smell database, where primary odors could be combined in bacteria to produce novel smells. The results of this project could go a long way towards helping eliminate body malodor, and allow people confidently engage in social interactions without the influence of bacteria produced malodorous compounds.</p>
+
<p class=definition>The <b>iGEM Paris Bettencourt 2014 </b>project explores new ways to control body odors through precise modifications of the living microbiome. We target common odors of the armpit and foot, as well as odors specific to old age or genetic disease. We present a BioBrick smell library for mixing genetic perfumes and a CRISPR-mediated technology for isolating naturally odorless bacterial strains.</p>

</div>
+
<p class=definition> Our work represents a probiotic and body-positive approach to body odor that will someday help people to smell <i>just like themselves</i>.</p>

Body odor is caused by the metabolic action of bacteria on human sweat. Existing deodorants are antibiotic - they kill all skin bacteria including neutral and beneficial species. Where body odor carries a social stigma, alternatives to deodorant are few.

The iGEM Paris Bettencourt 2014 project explores new ways to control body odors through precise modifications of the living microbiome. We target common odors of the armpit and foot, as well as odors specific to old age or genetic disease. We present a BioBrick smell library for mixing genetic perfumes and a CRISPR-mediated technology for isolating naturally odorless bacterial strains.

Our work represents a probiotic and body-positive approach to body odor that will someday help people to smell just like themselves.
