The University of Calgary iGEM Team has had many accomplishments this Summer
In our promoter project...
In our promoter project...
- We designed a novel protocol to identify small hydrophobic molecule interacters within a cell.
- We were able to successfully biotinylate a naphthenic acid, suggesting that we may be able to biotinylate other small hydrophobic molecuels to screen for interactors in the search for responsive elements.
- We identified a gene that is upregulated in the presence of naphthenic acids, suggesting a possible responsive elements or degradative protein.
- We characterized a novel reporter function for the lacZ gene using an electrochemical output.
- We laid the groundwork for future use of electrochemical reporting in iGEM
- We characterized a Pseudomonas-E. coli conjugation construct
- We submitted parts and protocols for future work in both microalgae and Pseudomonas
- We characterized the viability of Pseudomonas and E. coli to grow and survive in tailings ponds
In our Reporter Project...
In our Chassis project...
