Highlights

We successfully characterized ammonia consumption of our AMO transformant (Mutant 1).
We constructed and characterized a synthetic promoter library built on the arabinose inducible promoter.
We successfully targeted proteins to the periplasm in our Hello World pilot project.
We modeled several aspects of the project including the kinetics of the system and the size of reactor required.
We conducted several events around human practices, including a biobrick workshop and a discussion on IP and synthetic biology.

For more information on our project, please see our project details. Also be sure to check out our online lab notebook.

-Intense agriculture is the base of feeding a growing world population. However it comes at a cost for the environment. Part of this is the growing problem of ammonia pollution. As the demand for food articles is steadily increasing farmers turn to extensive use of fertilizers and nitrogen-enriched animal feeds to increase their yield. Much of this nitrogen comes in the form of ammonia and accumulates in the argicultural runoff, which pollutes surface bodies of water like lakes and streams but also the groundwater.
-Our project is a requiem for those streams. Our goal is to remove surplus ammonia from wastewater, and via two ''E. coli'' mutants turn it into nitrous oxide.
-TODO: There should either be a link to our video or it should be embedded here. Alternatively, we can use the scanned pictures.

-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.
