Team | Year | Project Name | Project Summary | Biosafety Idea |
---|---|---|---|---|
Kill switch | Kill switch. Our kill switch is designed by inserting an antimicrobial peptide (AMP) gene into E.Coli | |||
Engineer bacteria to accelerate plant root development | Toxin/antitoxin. Consits of the insertion of the Holin + Endolysine and Anti Holin genes. | |||
Bacteria that detects and signals the presence of nitrates | Encapsulation in a gel. We encapsulated our bacteria in beeds made out of a non toxic gel. | |||
Detect chitin,and alert the plant by stimulating an early hypersensitive response against infection. | A few ideas but no design:
| |||
Optimize production of terpenes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast (to help trees fight invading beetles and fungi) | A few ideas (no design):
| |||
Heavy metal bioreporter and bioabsorbent engineering | A few superficial ideas:
| |||
Projects which could be useful for a space travelling:
|
Not about biosafety, but:
They do not believe that their BioBrick parts will have any negative effect on the environment. But they could be interested by our project! | |||
CONTROLLING ICE FORMATION.
|
Suicide mechanism: DNA nuclease. Destruction of the DNA > bacteria dies, but keeps its shape so it can still do its job (functional protein are at the surface of the membrane). The suicide mechanism activity is mediated by an “AND”-gate system: the cell death mechanism is only activated when one of the two stimuli is given, AND a sudden decrease in temperature (a cold-shock) occurs | |||
Biosensor to detect metals in waste water | One idea (no design):
