The UTP-Panama team has decided to break this paradigm in the Republic of Panama. To accomplish this goal, the UTP-Panama Team is working in the development of what we call a "SynBio Engineering Tool Kit", the construction of engineering tools, obtained from biological resources.

At this moment, engineering groups are designing projects in different fields, using biological devices to improve and solve traditional engineering problems.

Our project Abstract

The RENBO or THERMOGENIC RESPONSE NUTRIENT BIOSENSOR

To develop flexible and better sensors for environmental, agricultural and engineering applications are the aims of the UTP-Panama Team “SynBio Engineering Tool Kit”. In this way we work with Nitrate Biosensor (PyeaR - GFP composite) developed by Team BCCS-Bristol 2010, which expresses fluorescent signals upon nutrient detection, producing a high-resolution map of arable land. To achieve this goal we use the collateral effect of the AOX enzyme (Alternative oxidase) mainly designed to generate heat in response to a cold-shock, using the hybB promoter. This effect increases the bacteria growth at temperatures below 20°C. Finally we design a prototype device with a better cold shock promoter (CspA promoter) developed by UNAM-CINVESTAV Team in 2010, in order to give our E. coli a “Intelligent Coat", which means that not to only survive a cold-shock but to also still been able to keep up with his duties due to improve their expression mechanism at low temperature.
