Our project removes ammonia from waste water, and via two ''E. coli'' mutants turns it into nitrous oxide.

Ammonia is a common pollutant in agricultural runoff, and excess ammonia in the environment leads to increased algae growth and eutrophication, which starves other water-borne organisms for oxygen. Our project reverses nitrogen fixation, and is a means to clean up polluted streams and wastewater.  The final product is nitrous oxide, which can be sold as an industrial product or reclaimed and used as a source of small scale sustainable energy.

* We successfully [[Team:DTU-Denmark/Experiment4|characterized ammonia consumption of our AMO transformant (Mutant 1)]].
 +
* We constructed and characterized a [[Team:DTU-Denmark/pBAD_SPL|synthetic promoter library]] built on the arabinose inducible promoter.
 +
* We successfully [[Team:DTU-Denmark/HelloWorld|targeted proteins to the periplasm]] in our Hello World pilot project.
 +
* We [[Team:DTU-Denmark/Modeling|modeled]] several aspects of the project including [[Team:DTU-Denmark/Kinetic_Model|the kinetics of the system]] and [[Team:DTU-Denmark/Reactor_Model|the size of reactor]] required.

* We conducted several events around [[Team:DTU-Denmark/Human_Practices|human practices]], including a [[Team:DTU-Denmark/Biobrick_Workshop|biobrick workshop]] and a [[Team:DTU-Denmark/IP_and_Synthetic_Biology|discussion on IP and synthetic biology]].
