         <p> Algal blooms are an ever-growing problem in freshwater systems. At the Beijing Olympics 2008, 10,000 people were hired to clean up the extensive algal bloom in time for the sailing regatta. The main concern is the level of a toxin called microcystin, which is released by cyanobacteria when they die and lyse. <br><br>Currently, the method of detection takes a day to produce results, so our aim as a team is to develop a 60 minute microcystin detection system, as well as a method to combat the rising levels of the toxin in lakes, ponds, etc. The iGEM Dundee team were inspired to act on this problem due to not only its effect on the local freshwater reservoirs, but worldwide. </p>
+
         <p> When conditions become favourable for cyanobacteria in freshwater systems, their population explodes and has devastating effects on the ecosystem by starving other organisms of oxygen.
 +
        This can occur naturally but may also be a result of man’s impact on the environment; e.g. the use of synthetic fertilisers leaching into the water reservoirs such as lakes and ponds.
 +
        Cyanobacteria produce many toxins such as microcystin, which are harmful to other organisms, including humans.
 +
        <br><br> Microcystin (made by Microcystis aeruginosa and some Planktothrix spp) irreversibly binds to Protein Phosphatase 1 (PP1) in humans, producing detrimental effects in the liver in particular. iGEM Dundee strives to engineer lab bacteria strains to use PP1 as a detector and a mop of microcystin.
 +
        We hope to create a microcystin detection system that takes 1 hour to give results, compared to the current 24 hour method. A remote sensor device has also been designed to predict occurrence of algal blooms.

           <p> Microcystin, a toxin released by Microcystis aeruginosa, is harmful to mammals due to its ability to latch on to the human protein PP1, thus ceasing its operation.

          We are exploiting the ability of the human protein phosphatase (PP1) to covalently bind to microcystin, in order to develop a biological mop ‘janitor’ to rid algal bloom water of the toxin. <br><br>By changing domains on receptors on the cell surface of e.coli and b.subtilis, we plan to develop a method of microcystin detection. Thirdly, iGEM Dundee are creating ‘Moptopus’; a remote environmental monitoring device which is designed to detect pH, temperature, light, dissolved oxygen in H2O and even has a robotic eye. Moptopus can be controlled online and can even send tweets to alert the public whenever an algal bloom is imminent.

            One of our aims is to make a detection system in Bacillus subtilis where spores germinate in response to the presence of microcystin. This uses a modified version of the PrkC receptor (which usually acts as a sensor for the germination of other spores in the surrounding area), substituting PP1 in place of the normal sensor domains. Our idea is that when microcystin binds to the PP1 of the PrkC receptor, this will trigger downstream intracellular effects, resulting in the germination of dormant spores. The awoken bacteria will then produce PP1 (ToxiMop idea) to rid the water of microcystin.</p>

        The public generally considers synthetic biology as an immoral concept, although if you imagine it as an episode of Scooby Doo, it doesn’t seem so bad; everyone is scared of this unknown monster, but underneath this mask is just a janitor. In the case of our project ToxiMop, we are using a ‘janitor bacterium’ to mop up the microcystin toxin from freshwater reservoirs!

           What comes to people's mind when they hear the term 'synthetic biology'? Many people don't know what it is, or have an ambiguous idea that it is something dangerous, potentially immoral. It can be thought of as playing with the universe's lego kit. Building with what is already here, naturally, biologists attempt to create better biological systems and machinery to advance life on earth. </p>

 +
          ToxiMop uses the human protein PP1 expressed on the surface of bacteria to act as a biological mop for microcystin. 
 +
          By covalently binding to protein phosphatase 1 (PP1), microcystin acts as an inhibitor of PP1, a protein which is integral to almost all major signalling pathways in human cells.
 +
          We are using cloning techniques to genetically engineer B. subtilis and E. coli to  express PP1 on the cell surface so that bacteria can inhibit microcystin in algal blooms, therefore reducing harm to freshwater ecosystems.

Project Overview

The Microcystin Monster

When conditions become favourable for cyanobacteria in freshwater systems, their population explodes and has devastating effects on the ecosystem by starving other organisms of oxygen. This can occur naturally but may also be a result of man’s impact on the environment; e.g. the use of synthetic fertilisers leaching into the water reservoirs such as lakes and ponds. Cyanobacteria produce many toxins such as microcystin, which are harmful to other organisms, including humans.

Microcystin (made by Microcystis aeruginosa and some Planktothrix spp) irreversibly binds to Protein Phosphatase 1 (PP1) in humans, producing detrimental effects in the liver in particular. iGEM Dundee strives to engineer lab bacteria strains to use PP1 as a detector and a mop of microcystin. We hope to create a microcystin detection system that takes 1 hour to give results, compared to the current 24 hour method. A remote sensor device has also been designed to predict occurrence of algal blooms.

Itaque earum rerum hic tenetur a sapiente delectus, ut aut reiciendis voluptatibus maiores alias consequatur aut perferendis doloribus asperiores repellat.

Detector

One of our aims is to make a detection system in Bacillus subtilis where spores germinate in response to the presence of microcystin. This uses a modified version of the PrkC receptor (which usually acts as a sensor for the germination of other spores in the surrounding area), substituting PP1 in place of the normal sensor domains. Our idea is that when microcystin binds to the PP1 of the PrkC receptor, this will trigger downstream intracellular effects, resulting in the germination of dormant spores. The awoken bacteria will then produce PP1 (ToxiMop idea) to rid the water of microcystin.

Toxi-Mop

ToxiMop uses the human protein PP1 expressed on the surface of bacteria to act as a biological mop for microcystin. By covalently binding to protein phosphatase 1 (PP1), microcystin acts as an inhibitor of PP1, a protein which is integral to almost all major signalling pathways in human cells. We are using cloning techniques to genetically engineer B. subtilis and E. coli to express PP1 on the cell surface so that bacteria can inhibit microcystin in algal blooms, therefore reducing harm to freshwater ecosystems.
