Our environmental iGEM project was first developed from our aspirations to detoxify water and soil from pollutants, and to convert pollutants 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. As a large amount of NO pollution is caused by fertilizer run off, we intend to target water treatment. Utilising an NO converting bio-reactor will reduce the operating costs of removing NO from the water as well as catalyst contamination of the water supply; furthermore we should be able to produce an ammonia compound which can be utilised in recycled fertilizer production.

-<center> '''Welcome to the Team Kent iGEM wiki page. This page will give you an overview of our project and how we are going about doing it.'''
-This environmental project started around an idea of detoxifying or possibly converting pollution using E. coli. From our studies and using departmental resources, we resolved to pusue the conversion of nitric oxide (NOx) to ammonia.
-Our Biobrick will be not only able to detect NOx with the norV promoter but also convert it by harnessing the nitrification and denitrification via the nrfA protein. </center>
