PROBLEM


It is estimated that about a quarter of the world’s food crops is affected by harmful mycotoxins produced by mould fungus.
FAO and WHO have developed three benchmarks of risk analysis: risk assessment, risk management and risk communication.
Our detection system covers those three benchmarks.

Abstract



Mycotoxins produced by mould fungus are present in our daily life and are harmful for humans as well as for animals. The danger of contamination of grain and other natural products has fatal consequences for the economy and the supply of whole nations. The mycotoxins which are permanently formed by the fungus, can be used as biomarkers to detect contamination. We want to develop a handy device which allows an easy and reliable detection of mycotoxins. To achieve this goal our team uses various methods from the fields of synthetic biology, electrical engineering and information processing. The detection system relies on E.coli with modified aspartate receptors ( Home_zu Visit Our Home Page
