Our project, SMART ''E.coli'', aims at making bioremediation more efficient. In situations where the substrate (such as pollutants you want bacteria to collect) is not equally distributed and rather concentrated in particular spots, conventional bioremediation projects are not efficient. To overcome this problem, we attempt to increase the cell density around the substrate by attracting the bacteria to the substrate.

Our team project is the creation of "''E. Coli'' attracted to stress."
+
To attain this goal, we designed two mechanisms, chemoattraction using aspartate and cell arrest.
-
This project consists of two parts: detection of stress and "positive stressotaxis." To detect stress, we use the promoters of the SOS genes, coding for proteins involved in well-known DNA-repair mechanisms. There are various SOS genes in ''E. coli'' and therefore we think it is possible to detect various ranges of stress using different promoters. In addition, combining stress-responsive promoters with chemotactic factors, we aim to create ''E. coli'' that swim towards the source of the stress.

We propose that the resulting machine possessing these functions may be useful for applications such as bioremediation and environmental screening.

Welcome to the UT-Tokyo team's wiki for iGEM 2011. If you would like to get in touch with us, please contact us by email or on [http://twitter.com/UT_Tokyo twitter (@UT_Tokyo)], [http://www.facebook.com/pages/IGEM-UT-Tokyo/246851982004135 Facebook].

Our Project: SMART E.coli - Self Mustering with Aspartate-Responsive Taxis -

Making bioremediation far more efficient!

Our project, SMART E.coli, aims at making bioremediation more efficient. In situations where the substrate (such as pollutants you want bacteria to collect) is not equally distributed and rather concentrated in particular spots, conventional bioremediation projects are not efficient. To overcome this problem, we attempt to increase the cell density around the substrate by attracting the bacteria to the substrate.

To attain this goal, we designed two mechanisms, chemoattraction using aspartate and cell arrest.

To learn more about our project, please take a look at our Project page on this wiki!
