<h2>Objectives</h2>
 
-
<p>Our world is obviously facing several urgent problems in which energy crisis is definitely a major one.
 
-
Nowadays, there are corresponding solutions to this problem. However, we find that the existing solutions are not satisfactory.
 
-
There are solar panels to convert light energy into electricity, but it usually requires a large infrastructure.
 
-
However, the efficiency of the conversion process is still not good enough.
 
-
In order to improve the situation, our project targets at producing electricity more cheaply, more effectively and in a more portable way.</p>
 
-
 
-
<h2>How can we achieve this?</h2>
 
-
 
-
<p>We employ a light-driven ion pump in our project.
 
-
By expressing the pump into our target bacterial strain, we can control the bacteria to pump in ions from the environment,
 
-
and eventually produce a salinity difference. Also, we are going to manufacture a pair of specific electrodes.
 
-
By making use of the electrodes, the salinity difference as well as our genetically engineered bacteria,
 
-
we can generate electricity from the salinity difference which is produced by our genetically engineered bacteria in the presence of light.
 
-
It is a brand new way to generate electricity.</p>

Project

The project ChloriColight focuses on a light-driven ion pump, halorhodopsin. The CUHK iGEM team 2011 has successfully cloned the gene coding for this ion pump and registered a new part. Effort to relate and integrate light, ion concentration and gene expression level in a system quantitatively is unprecedented. The characterization of the part provides sound evidence and solid foundation for various applications.


About iGEM

The International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) Competition is a high-profile competition for undergraduates worldwide. Participants conduct research in synthetic biology throughout the summer. One purpose of the competition is to develop genes into standard parts and put them into the collection of part registry. By sharing these “Biobricks” through the part registry, different functional biological systems can be achieved. iGEM is a competition filled with innovation, teamwork, collaboration and public outreach.
