Demonstrate
Gold Medal Criterion #4
XYLOSE AS FEEDSTOCK
Successfully constructed an inducible xylose-utilizing module
Demonstrated improved growth of E. coli BL21* containing this module in xylose and glucose-xylose mixture
DE NOVO BIOSYNTHESIS
Successfully constructed naringenin-producing plasmid with just a single missing enzyme required for full de novo synthesis
Demonstrated production of naringenin from coumaric acid in E. coli Acella and BL21*
LUTEOLIN
Successfully constructed chemically-inducible and light inducible luteolin-producing plasmid
Demonstrated production of luteolin from naringenin in E. coli BL21*
Characterized Bba_ (F3’H), Bba (FNS), Bba (pBAD-FNS)
BLUE LIGHT REPRESSIBLE SYSTEM
Improved characterization of EL222 blue light repressible promoter, PBLrep (BBa_)
Improved characterization of EL222 blue light inducible promoter, PBLind (BBa_)
Demonstrated blue light repression of luteolin production
STRESS REPORTER
Constructed a stress reporter module
Characterized the burden responsive promoter, PhtpG1
Demonstrated stress induced by naringenin- and luteolin-producing plasmids
CELL-MACHINE INTERFACE
Designed and built devices which help characterize optogenetic circuits in petri dishes and 250 ml conical flasks
Designed and built a 500 ml working volume benchtop optogenetic bioreactor, which comprises a peristaltic pump, 2-in-1 OD and fluorescence sensor, and fermentation chamber
Designed and implemented a feedback control system to control the optogenetic bioreactor
