The Project
Accomplishments
The University of Calgary iGEM Team has had many accomplishments this Summer
In our promoter project, we designed a novel protocol to identify small hydrophobic molecule interacters. 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 sensory elements.
Identified a gene that is upregulated in the presence of NA's, suggesting a possible promoter regions.
In our Reporter Project, we characterized a novel reporter function for the lacZ gene using an electrochemical output.
In our Chassis project, we characterized a Pseudomonas-E. coli conjugation construct Submitted parts and protocols for future work in microalgae and Pseudomonas
