Revision as of 22:13, 31 August 2018
We investigated ways to obtain bioethanol, and faced a distinction between bio-energy
generations as first, second, and third. The first generation energy evokes concerns
in terms of the debate “food vs fuel” since it is obtained from food crops. On the
other hand, second generation production is from lignocellulosic biomass, so doesn’t
create a controversy as such and less cultivation and fermentation. Thus, we chose to
develop a second generation bioethanol production system and upgrade it by engineering
ethanologenic E.coli strain KO11 using the two genes FucO and GSH.
iGEM is a hard work and all, but never forget; there is no project without a little fun
with your teammates.
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 lead us to learn that science is truly a collective endeavour.
Here is our interactions with peers, experts and public.
Every member of this team has spared tremendous efforts and endless work hours to make
our project come to life. The team is not only about working together but like a family.
We chose bioethanol as our point of attention due to its qualities of being non-toxic, biodegradable,
cost-friendly, it reducing the amount of crude oil dependency from other countries and most importantly,
being less likely to cause high greenhouse gas emissions, thus less pollution. In comparison with other
fuels, ethanol contains 35% oxygen so the complete combustion of fuel can be seen which lowers the
emission of harmful gases. Moreover, ethanol production uses energy from biomass which means that it is
renewable and sustainable. Furthermore, ethanol by fermentation offers a more favorable trade balance,
enhanced energy security, and a major new crop for a depressed agricultural economy. Furthermore, while
being 20-30% more efficient, bioethanol used as a fuel reduces engine weight and provides higher torque
and horsepower compared to conventional gasoline engines.
