WHAT IS CHITIN

Human Practice Time line

Human Practice timeline

1. Visit a fishing village.
- See the process of catching lobsters and get to know
the treatment with lobster shells.
-Impact: realized that most of the lobster shells were abandoned and were not put into industrial production.

2. Visit a factory that produces food with lobsters. - Investigate how much lobster shells can be left after the rounds of production. - Impact: more than 50% of the shells are left unused after the production.  we confirmed that our project is applicable in reality for the useful resources of lobster shells (raw material) from different sources. 3. Visit pharmaceutical company in Xi’an - Gain a more complete view of the chemical production of chitosan & the problems of the current treatment & interview the staffs, ask their opinions about our design. - Impact: realized the deficiencies in chemical production (water pollution, energy cost, high demand of laborers, low efficiency) 4. Visit Biotechnology company in Suzhou - To ask for feedbacks and instructions on solving a problem we encountered in experiment. - Impact: Introduced us with a new plasmid and QS system. Gave us instructions and suggestions on the conduction our experiment. 5. Second visit to the Biotechnology company - Demo test to potential users & gain feedback from them - Impact: We received positive comments and data from the users and gained inspiration to modify our machine according to realistic production. 6. After iGEM - We are planning to revisit the company to show them our modified version of machine, make further adjustments and put our machine into use in industry.
