This is our Brainstorming Page!
Detection
- TNT (other carbon chemicals?)
- Pathogens – difficult as need mammalian cells for antibodies, could combine existing tests in one bacterium/device
- “So that you can smell cancer...” :-S
- Toxins
Mobility
- Use bacterial redopsin, power flagella
- Specific chemotaxis/response to pH
Logic gates
- Compile adder – done by previous team
- Calculator (solving differential equations?)
Outputs
- pH and indicator
- Colour protein (like GFP)
- Voltage? Need to be able to line up bacteria – directionality given in E.coli by nanobrain (attach to mechanism for its positioning)
- Improve secretion mechanism from E.coli
- Interface biological and electrical systems
- Identifying carcinogens (like Phillip Oliver’s work) – already well developed
- Digest urea in swimming pools, so no need for chlorine etc
- Bio-clock – need reliable biological oscillator
- Targeted delivery
- Active sun cream – displays colour after threshold UV exposure, colour goes if more applied, could produce and release melanin?
- Hair colouring shampoo – fluorescent proteins, can be marketed as “organic”!
- Chameleon bacteria?
