Of CO2urse
A biological approach to “off” CO2 emission
By 2018 iGEM NCKU_TAINAN
Ever since the 90s when concern over the impact of carbon emission on our environment was first raised, global-wide efforts in reducing emission have been met with mixed results. Just 2017 alone the global emission level grew by 1.4%. This year, iGEM NCKU_Tainan will design a device capable of piping CO2 and convert such carbon source into biomass via intergrating a non-native Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle into E. coli. “Of Course” is a biological approach to “off” CO2 emission through the RuBisCO and PRK genes from Synechococcus sp, which encode for major enzymes involved in carbon fixation. Industrial gases will enter a pipe (inlet) at the bottom of a cylindrical container, flow through a ceramic nozzle and mix with liquids containing engineered E. coli that consumes CO2. Furthermore, CO2 concentration will be determined by monitoring the corresponding change in pH using an asr (acid shock RNA) promoter containing E. coli with a sfGFP as reporter. Our ultimate goal is that this novel approach will reduce CO2 in order to slow down global climate changes.
Before you start
Please read the following pages:
Styling your wiki
You may style this page as you like or you can simply leave the style as it is. You can easily keep the styling and edit the content of these default wiki pages with your project information and completely fulfill the requirement to document your project.
While you may not win Best Wiki with this styling, your team is still eligible for all other awards. This default wiki meets the requirements, it improves navigability and ease of use for visitors, and you should not feel it is necessary to style beyond what has been provided.
Uploading pictures and files
You must upload any pictures and files to the iGEM 2018 server. Remember to keep all your pictures and files within your team's namespace or at least include your team's name in the file name.
When you upload, set the "Destination Filename" to T--YourOfficialTeamName--NameOfFile.jpg. (If you don't do this, someone else might upload a different file with the same "Destination Filename", and your file would be erased!)
Wiki template information
We have created these wiki template pages to help you get started and to help you think about how your team will be evaluated. You can find a list of all the pages tied to awards here at the Pages for awards link. You must edit these pages to be evaluated for medals and awards, but ultimately the design, layout, style and all other elements of your team wiki is up to you!
Editing your wiki
On this page you can document your project, introduce your team members, document your progress and share your iGEM experience with the rest of the world!
Use WikiTools - Edit in the black menu bar to edit this page
Tips
This wiki will be your team’s first interaction with the rest of the world, so here are a few tips to help you get started:
- State your accomplishments! Tell people what you have achieved from the start.
- Be clear about what you are doing and how you plan to do this.
- You have a global audience! Consider the different backgrounds that your users come from.
- Make sure information is easy to find; nothing should be more than 3 clicks away.
- Avoid using very small fonts and low contrast colors; information should be easy to read.
- Start documenting your project as early as possible; don’t leave anything to the last minute before the Wiki Freeze. For a complete list of deadlines visit the iGEM 2018 calendar
- Have lots of fun!
Inspiration
You can also view other team wikis for inspiration! Here are some examples:
