Overall project
This year ASU iGEM plans to revolutionize the toaster industry with a new, one of a kind, bacterial toaster. The current toaster industry is both static and lacking of new innovation. Toasters are for the most-part non-portable, require electrical plug-ins, and non-replicating.

Catalase is capable of converting millions of hydrogen peroxide molecules into water every second. The reaction is exothermic and may theoretically be used for pasteurization or toasting purposes.
