This summer, the UW-Madison iGEM team will be working on streamlining the biofuel discovery and production processes through the use of biosensors and microcompartments. The necessity for sustainable, economical sources of fuel is ever growing, and UW-Madison is a forefront institution in the hunt for such supplies. In association with the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC), we are creating new E. coli biosensors that can accelerate high throughput screening of potential fuel sources. We’re specifically interested in ethanol and alkanes, derived from sources ranging from cellulose to metabolically engineered E. coli. | This summer, the UW-Madison iGEM team will be working on streamlining the biofuel discovery and production processes through the use of biosensors and microcompartments.

Project Overview
iGEM is a synthetic biology competition and stands for Internationally Genetically Engineered Machines. It began as a friendly competition between 10 MIT teams in 2004, and has since grown to over 130 teams in 2010 from all different countries around the globe. This year even more teams are anticipated, and there will be regional competitions held before the annual international jamboree held at MIT in the fall.
