Ecolectricity - currently available
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.

Team
Our team consists of ten bachelor and master students who study molecular biotechnology and genome-based systems biology. Get to know us better.

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 formatted 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.

Labjournal
We wrote all the experiments we did into a labjournal. We digitalized the lab journal so that everyone can comprehend our experiments and achieve reproducible results.

Pictures & Videos
During the work on our project we took a lot of nice pictures and recorded some videos inside and outside the lab. See a collection of our favorites on our media page.

Modelling
To predict various processes in our MFC we did some modelling on different reactions and parameters.

Since Regionals
After the European Jamboree we were busy and continued working on our project to optimize it further and conduct the last measurements.
