We,the iGEM Biwako-Nagahama team have been working on 2 projects, paper and ink. The first one “AgRePaper Project” we tried to make Agropaper by expression of curdlan and cellulose from Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58. Similarly we are trying to find out the ways to decompose and reuse the papers using Agrobacterium. Our second project, “E.coli-ink” in which we have been working prepare ink by overexpression of Myoglobin from E.coli.
