Electric energy by genetically modified E. coli
in a self-designed and -constructed Microbial Fuel Cell
Project
Project
This year the iGEM team 2013 decided to do research on microbial fuel cells (MFC). This project includes genetical modification of ''Escherichia coli'' and engineering of a suitable fuel cell to gain electricity.

Biosafety
Biosafety is an essential aspect when you work with living organisms that could possibly escape out of your application via damage or incorrect handling. We designed biosafety systems which counter this risk.

Results
Our aim was to produce electricity with our application, which we finally achieved successfully. On the way we got a lot of data, which we analyzed and formated into graphics. Take a look.

Human Practice
It is important to get out of the lab and tell the public about your project and about synthetic biology. Therefore we arranged events and visited conferences in order to get in touch with the public.
