We investigated ways to improve bioethanol production since it's a non-toxic, biodegradable and cost friendly alternative
to fossil fuels being about 20-30% more efficient and its carbon footprint being far smaller.
Doing so, we came across different bioenergy generations; first, second and third. We focused on second generation; energy
from lignocellulosic biomass given that it's the most abundant, renewable and thus sustainable.
In the light of our research, we developed a second generation bioethanol production system aiming to decrease the economic
and environmental consequences of energy production. Our system will increase the efficiency of ethanol production, ultimately
its sustainability using the ethanologenic E.coli strain KO11 and two genes; FucO and GSH.
Since collaborating is an essential part of iGEM, encouraging teams to
overcome problems, we have interacted with various teams from all around
the world. To see what we’ve achieved together, please proceed to the
collaborations page.
Since science is a collective effort, one can never pursue great things
alone and without taking help from people who are experts in the specific
subjects. Not to mention the nature of iGEM projects requiring us to be
well-rounded, it's fair to say it's next to impossible to do it alone.
See the people and their contributions to our project on the page
attributions.
Beyond the lab, we were there to be a part of the society. During the making
of our project, we benefited from the public idea as much as we benefited
from any protocol or article. We strove to integrate what we have learned from
others to our project in order to make the best use of Bio-E, since we wanted
the whole world to make use of our fermentation process in the future. You can see our human practices on the Human Practices and Education and Engagement pages.
Contrary to popular belief, iGEM is much more than what meets the eye. It means to be
conscious, it means to have a community, it means entrepreneurship. Just like all the
iGEM teams, our experience leads us to learn that science is truly a collective endeavor.
Here is our interactions with peers, experts, and the public.
