Part of them possess aromatic degradation pathways, and also transcriptional factors to monitor the environmental aromatics, and control degradation pathway to balance the degradation capacity. Peking iGEM team mainly focused on the various transcriptional factors, which can respond to various aromatic inducers. We characterized these biosensors and improve their performance by using well-characterized biobricks. We expanded the detection range by coupling enzymes in upper pathways and biosensors to degrade aromatics to detectable compounds. For quantitative detection, we construct the band pass filter to detect a certain range of concentration. The appliance of microfluidics may construct a concentration gradient, and a certain concentration’s response can reflect the original concentration of environmental samples. With the application of this device, we can achieve easy and quantitative detection of environmental aromatics, and at the same time, remarkably enrich the library of inducible biosensors.

Human Practice

We have been focusing on the pollution and detection of aromatics in China. To obtain the information of public awareness and current attitudes on Aromatic compounds, we did a survey including questionnaires. To acquire knowledge of policies on aromatics, we visited Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau. Then we made an on-the-spot investigation to a printing factory, whose manufacturing technique involves dyes and intermediates with aromatic pollutants. Afterwards, we tested some water sample from Weiming Lake on campus, furthermore, several rivers in Beijing. Inheriting Peking iGEM's tradition, we guided an iGEM HS team, which will be a participant in next year's jamboree. On September 7th, we held Model iGEM, which consisted oral and poster presentation. Seven other iGEM teams were invited and we had a face-to-face interaction.
