| | + | Firedamp explosions is frequently seen cases at all mines over the world. Every year, 50 miner lose their lives in Turkey because of firedamp explosions. Firedamp is a flammable gas found in coal mines and it mainly contains methane. 5%-15% methane level in firedamp is risky amount that makes gas mixture explosive enough to explode by just one spark. Beside its explosive property, methane is also the main contributor to global warming and recent mine mechanisms release obtained methane into air. Since, it is important to convert methane gas in mines into other derives to reduce its effect on global warming. |

| + | Our aim to design a device which will work on E.coli that provides solutions for side effects of methane. Device that we are planning to construct involves the genes of bacteria encoding methane monooxygenase (MMo), and the mechanism will help by working through a series of compact systems in mines. First part of this compact system is the sensation of methane, hence the second is the entrapment and the last part will be the conversion of methane to methanol. |

| - | The mine gas is a term given to the methane gas and other gases produced or emitted in association with coal mining activities. 5%-15% methane level is risky amount that makes gas mixture explosive enough to explode by just one spark. So, firedamp explosions is frequently seen cases all mines over the world. Every year, 50 miner lose their lives in Turkey.Our project as being a team in IGEM (International Genetically Engineering Machines) to find two solutions for reducing the risk of firedamp explosions. Firstly, 1% methane level in gas mixture is legally accepted as alarming level that is necessary to all miner to leave the mine. There are three different methods to estimate methane concentration. Our aim is to find an another method which is more practical, sensitive, and cheaper than others. It includes bacteria dependent biosensor. Secondly, recent mine mechanisms release produced methane into air. Methane gas has 24 times more effect than CO2on global warming. Since, it is important to convert methane gas into other derives to reduce global warming. Our second aim is to conduct a project, that, methane can be converted into methanol which may be used in biofuel production.
