A Chassis Using Native Tailings Pond Species

Pseudomonas (left), microalgae species Dunaliella tertiolecta (right).

Chassis Selection

We identified early on in our project planning stages that we would eventually want to use Pseudomonas or microalgae as the chassis to house our system. The motivation for this is that not only are these organisms capable of naturally surviving a tailings ponds environment, but they may contain necessary regulatory elements required for a response to NA's. Because of this, taking a response element out of an organism and putting our system into another chassis, such as E. coli, may not behave as expected. Based on this chassis choice however, we realized that given their scarcity in iGEM, tools needed to establish work in these organisms for future iGEM teams.
