*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?

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)
