Overview

In designing our worm to be the ultimate remediation tool, it is important for to differentiate the worm from wild types. We designed a reporter system using eCFP (enhanced cyano fluorescent protein) to distinguish the worm. This can make our worm a useful tool by making detection as easy and as simple as possible.

There are many different applications of fluorescence for bioremediation purposes, both in situ and ex situ .

Construct: Fluorescent Worms

Our team successfully injected C. elegans with a reporter construct. The image below shows the AWB neuron expressing cyan fluorescence.
