In our project, we managed to create two new biobricks containing the NO sensing promoter [http://parts.igem.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K1153000 NorV] and the other containing the [http://parts.igem.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K1153001 nrfA]  gene. Though unfortunately we ran out of time to create the unified biobrick which would sense and convert NO to Ammonia, this is a good building block for potential future projects either at Kent or other Universities.

What we did.

In our project, we managed to create two novel biobricks containing the NO sensing promoter norV and the other containing the nrfA gene. These parts will form building blocks for potential future projects for testing for the presence of NOx or its conversion to Ammonia. We hope that our project has stimulated interest in alternatives to the current methods of NOx removal from the environment.

Our project is based on the research on norV and the nrfA genes reported in:
