Our environmental iGEM project was first developed from our aspirations to detoxify pollutants, or possibly convert them to useful products using E. coli. As the project progressed we resolved to pursue the conversion of nitric oxide (NO) to ammonia.

We are developing Biobricks to detect NO using the norV promoter and to convert NO to ammonia using the nitrite reductase enzyme NrfA of E. coli.

-<center> Our environmental iGEM project first developed from an idea of detoxifying pollutants, or possibly converting them to useful products using ''E.coli''. Through our studies, and use of departmental resources, we resolved to pursue the conversion of nitric oxide (NOx) to ammonia.

-The Biobrick the team plans to construct, will be able to detect NOx using the norV promoter and then convert it to ammonia by harnessing the nitrification and denitrification capabilities of the nitrite reductase enzyme nrfA. </center>
