<p class="sectionheader"><b>Our History</b></p><br />
<p>The Missouri S&T iGEM team was founded under the guidance of Dr. Katie Shannon in 2006. Dr. Shannon learned about the iGEM program at MIT through research associates from Missouri Western State University. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology had pioneered a collaborative research effort to use engineering principles to solve biological problems. Their approach, coined Synthetic Biology, is based on creating a library of interchangeable genetic parts for bacteria and yeast. MIT expanded this project under the International Genetically Engineered Machines banner (iGEM for short). The first competition took place in the summer of 2004 with 5 teams. MIT is expecting 180+ teams in 2010.</p><br />
<p> The Missouri S&T team began with two simple projects of building a biological clock in Escherichia coli and an ethanol sensor in yeast. The projects acted as a test bed while students learned and perfected lab techniques. The team initially split into two research groups, one pursuing the clock while the other began work on an ethanol sensor and the two projects were presented together at the 2007 iGEM Jamboree. The clock project was retired after the 2007 Jamboree, and the ethanol sensor was continued for 2008 iGEM competitions. After the 2008 competition the sensor was retired and the team began its most ambitious project yet.</p><br />
<p> As the 2008 iGEM competition was wrapping up, some students on the team proposed a new project. Using genes from Geobacter sulfurreducens that shuttled electrons outside of the cell, the team wanted to construct an aerobic microbial fuel cell by moving the genes from G. sulfurreducens to E. coli.</p><br />

<p class="sectionheader"><b>Our History</b></p><br />
<p>The Missouri S&T iGEM team was founded under the guidance of Dr. Katie Shannon in 2006. Dr. Shannon learned about the iGEM program at MIT through research associates from Missouri Western State University. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology had pioneered a collaborative research effort to use engineering principles to solve biological problems. Their approach, coined Synthetic Biology, is based on creating a library of interchangeable genetic parts for bacteria and yeast. MIT expanded this project under the International Genetically Engineered Machines banner (iGEM for short). The first competition took place in the summer of 2004 with 5 teams. MIT is expecting 180+ teams in 2010.</p><br />
<p> The Missouri S&T team began with two simple projects of building a biological clock in Escherichia coli and an ethanol sensor in yeast. The projects acted as a test bed while students learned and perfected lab techniques. The team initially split into two research groups, one pursuing the clock while the other began work on an ethanol sensor and the two projects were presented together at the 2007 iGEM Jamboree. The clock project was retired after the 2007 Jamboree, and the ethanol sensor was continued for 2008 iGEM competitions. After the 2008 competition the sensor was retired and the team began its most ambitious project yet.</p><br />
<p> As the 2008 iGEM competition was wrapping up, some students on the team proposed a new project. Using genes from Geobacter sulfurreducens that shuttled electrons outside of the cell, the team wanted to construct an aerobic microbial fuel cell by moving the genes from G. sulfurreducens to E. coli.</p><br />

<p class="sectionheader">Safety</p><br />
<p>There are many concerns in synthetic biology regarding biosafety. Biosafety can be defined as “safety to the respect of biological research on humans and the environment” (Merriam-Webster). <br />
</p><br /><br />
<html><div class="memberpic" style="margin:20px;"><br />
<a target="_blank" href="MST_BioSafety1.png"><br />
<img src="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2010/6/68/MST_BioSafety1.png" width="auto" height="120" /><br />
</a><br />
<div class="caption" style="width:100px;">We are a bio safety level 1 lab.</div><br />
</div><br />
</html><br />
<p>Three main biosafety risks have been outlined by Arjun Bhutkar. The first is the risk of negative environmental impact. Second is the risk of natural genome pool contamination and third is the run-off risk. Run-off risk describes the possibility of genetically altered organisms replicating or evolving.<br />
</p><br /><br />
<p>Researchers and labs participating in synthetic biology take precautions to prevent these risks from occurring so our world will continue to be a safe place. Labs are rated with different biosafety levels to assess the amount of risk associated with the research and to define the necessary precautions to prevent encountered risk. <br />
Our Missouri S&T iGEM lab is rated biosafety level 1. This means that our lab is suitable for work involving well-characterized agents not known to consistently cause disease in healthy adult humans. It also has a minimal potential hazard to laboratory personnel and the environment (Biosafety, 2010).</p> <br />
<p>To ensure that our iGEM lab does not pose a threat on humans or the environment we perform our research in a controlled and sterile setting. We use sterile technique to avoid introducing genetically modified organisms into the environment. All used media and supplies are sterilized with bleach and autoclaved. All of the members who research in the lab are educated in safety protocol and made aware of the risks associated with our research. We make every attempt possible to reduce the risks associated with synthetic biology. <br />

<p>Three main biosafety risks have been outlined by Arjun Bhutkar. The first is the risk of negative environmental impact.

</p><br /><br />
Researchers and labs participating in synthetic biology take precautions to prevent these risks from occurring so our world will continue to be a safe place. Labs are rated with different biosafety levels to assess the amount of risk associated with the research and to define the necessary precautions to prevent encountered risk. <br />
Our Missouri S&T iGEM lab is rated biosafety level 1. This means that our lab is suitable for work involving well-characterized agents not known to consistently cause disease in healthy adult humans. It also has a minimal potential hazard to laboratory personnel and the environment (Biosafety, 2010). <br />
To ensure that our iGEM lab does not pose a threat on humans or the environment we perform our research in a controlled and sterile setting. We use sterile technique to avoid introducing genetically modified organisms into the environment. All used media and supplies are sterilized with bleach and autoclaved. All of the members who research in the lab are educated in safety protocol and made aware of the risks associated with our research. We make every attempt possible to reduce the risks associated with synthetic biology. <br />

<p class="sectionheader"><b>Abstract</b></p><br />
<p><br />
The growing need for alternative fuel sources has sparked interest and research across many scientific and engineering disciplines. The fledgling field of microbial fuel cell development has previously relied on anaerobic metal reducing organisms such as Geobacter sulfurreduccens. This project sought to isolate genes from the electron shuttling pathway in Geobacter and transform them into the more manageable aerobic Escherichia coli. The Missouri University of Science and Technology iGEM team isolated four outer membrane cytochrome (omc) genes from Geobacter, vital to the extracellular transportation of electrons. The four genes; omcB, omcE, omcS and omcT, were cloned into individual plasmids. The eventual goal is to combine all four genes into one plasmid to transform into E. coli to create an aerobic, electron transporting microbial system.<br />

<p class="sectionheader"><b>What is a Microbial Fuel Cell?</b></p><br />
<p> A microbial fuel cell is a device similar to a battery that can harness electricity from bacteria. These exoelectrogenic bacteria transport electrons outside of the cell to reduce compounds in the outside environment. The process is the final step in normal electron transport for these bacteria. Microbial fuel cells harness these extracellular electrons to power a load. The bacteria grown on the anode, where they donate electrons to a carbon surface. The electrons then move along the circuit where the energy is capture to power a lightbulb. Hydrogen ions are transported across a permeable membrane into the cathode where they meet the electrons and finally reduce oxygen into water.</p><br />
<p class="sectionheader"><b>Creating a better MFC</b></p><br />
<p> In the past, microbial fuel cell research has been conducted solely in an anaerobic environment due to the anaerobic nature of most exoelectrogenic bacteria. We moved the key electron shuttling genes from an anaerobic bacteria, Geobacter sulfurreducens, to an aerobic bacteria, Escherichia coli, so as to facilitate MFC research in an aerobic environment. </p><br />
<p> In older, more traditional designs, MFCs have been limited by the surface area of the anode. The bacteria must make contact with the anode so the electrons can be harvested to power a device. In our new designs, we modeled our work after research conducted by Dr. Bradley R. Ringeisen, Ricky Ray, and Brenda Little at the Naval Research Labs in Washington D.C. The goal of the new design is to maximize anode surface area by using high surface area carbon materials and keeping a very large anode to membrane surface area ratio. In the Mini-MFC design, the limiting factor is the membrane surface area and permeability, not the anode surface area.</p><br />
<p>To create even larger surface areas for the anode we contacted materials specialists at the Leventis Lab at Missouri S&T. We are using glassy carbon aerogels as anode materials instead of the traditional carbon or graphite felt. </p><br />

<h1>Project Center</h1><br /><br />
<p class="sectionheader"><b>Abstract</b></p><br />
<p><br />
The growing need for alternative fuel sources has sparked interest and research across many scientific and engineering disciplines. The fledgling field of microbial fuel cell development has previously relied on anaerobic metal reducing organisms such as Geobacter sulfurreduccens. This project sought to isolate genes from the electron shuttling pathway in Geobacter and transform them into the more manageable aerobic Escherichia coli. The Missouri University of Science and Technology iGEM team isolated four outer membrane cytochrome (omc) genes from Geobacter, vital to the extracellular transportation of electrons. The four genes; omcB, omcE, omcS and omcT, were cloned into individual plasmids. The eventual goal is to combine all four genes into one plasmid to transform into E. coli to create an aerobic, electron transporting microbial system.<br />
</p><br /><br />
<p class="sectionheader"><b>Background</b></p><br />
<p>Currently the iGEM team is focusing on a single project, involving the transfer of an electron shuttling pathway from Geobacter sulfurreducens to Escherichia coli. The initial project began with a desire for researchers’ to overcome the limitations of doing microbial fuel cell research in anaerobic bacteria. Due to the anaerobic nature of G. sulfurreducens, fuel cell research conducted using the bacterium requires an elaborate setup and the fuel cell being completely oxygen free. This is achieved by having a constant flow of nitrogen into the fuel cell. Moving the electron shuttling pathway into a facultative aerobic bacterium allows for a less complex system and also helps facilitate useful commercial applications of the research.</p><br />
<p> Dr. Derek Lovely’s extensive and ongoing research on the electron shuttling pathway in G. sulfurreducens and other electricigens has served as a springboard for the team’s project. Lovely identified four outer membrane cytochromes either necessary for or highly involved in transport of electrons to the outside of the cell. Through the iGEM team’s work, these cytochromes will form the critical bridge between the highly efficient oxidation processes of aerobic bacterium such as E. coli and the anodic environment of the microbial fuel cell.</p> <br />
<p>The corresponding outer membrane cytochrome genes omcB, omcE, omcS, and omcT were individually isolated from G. sulfurreducens and transformed into E. coli. These genes were each cloned into new plasmids providing a ribosome binding site sequence, and are now in the process of being combined into a single plasmid containing all four genes and their respective ribosome binding sites. Current efforts are focused on finishing the gene combination process as well as testing the potential output of cells containing various combinations of the omc genes.</p><br />

<p><br />
Outer membrane cytochrome genes from <i>Geobacter sp.</i> omcB, omcE, omcS, and omcT were first obtained as nonfunctional sequences in plasmids from the iGEM standard registry of parts (parts BBa_K269000 through BBa_K269003).</p><br />
<html><img src="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2010/0/00/MST_omc_indiv.png" style="height:75px;" </img></html><br />
<p>These genes were each combined to a ribosome binding site (RBS) promoter part BBa_J61100. <br />

<i>"It is well known that microorganisms can produce fuels, such as ethanol, methane and hydrogen, from organic matter. It is less well known that microorganisms can also convert organic matter into electricity in devices known as microbial fuel cells."</i> <br /> ~ Dr. Derek Lovley, 2006.<br />

Jumping from the pages of a science fiction novel, the concept of using microorganisms as a source of electricity is considered by most to be a work of fantasy. In contrast, scientists are starting to explore how using living organisms can solve the impending fuel crisis. Modern thought concludes using microbes to produce energy as inefficient and ineffective; however, microbes can be more reliable than other fuel sources. <br /><br />Microbes were the first form of life on this planet, and have existed for billions of years. The abundance and heartiness of microbes creates the perfect environment for an unlimited sustainable source of energy.<br /><br /> Similar to other fledging scientific fields, a breakthrough in microbial fuel cell development does not occur without difficulties. Our goal has been to transport the electron shuttling pathway from an anaerobic bacterium to an easily manageable aerobic system within E. coli. After countless hours of trial and error, a breakthrough is materializing.<br />

<p class="sectionheader"><b>Our History</b></p><br />
<p>The Missouri S&T iGEM team was founded under the guidance of Dr. Katie Shannon in 2006. Dr. Shannon learned about the iGEM program at MIT through research associates from Missouri Western State University. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology had pioneered a collaborative research effort to use engineering principles to solve biological problems. Their approach, coined Synthetic Biology, is based on creating a library of interchangeable genetic parts for bacteria and yeast. MIT expanded this project under the International Genetically Engineered Machines banner (iGEM for short). The first competition took place in the summer of 2004 with 5 teams. MIT is expecting 180+ teams in 2010.</p><br />
<p> The Missouri S&T team began with two simple projects of building a biological clock in Escherichia coli and an ethanol sensor in yeast. The projects acted as a test bed while students learned and perfected lab techniques. The team initially split into two research groups, one pursuing the clock while the other began work on an ethanol sensor and the two projects were presented together at the 2007 iGEM Jamboree. The clock project was retired after the 2007 Jamboree, and the ethanol sensor was continued for 2008 iGEM competitions. After the 2008 competition the sensor was retired and the team began its most ambitious project yet.</p><br />
<p> As the 2008 iGEM competition was wrapping up, some students on the team proposed a new project. Using genes from Geobacter sulfurreducens that shuttled electrons outside of the cell, the team wanted to construct an aerobic microbial fuel cell by moving the genes from G. sulfurreducens to E. coli.</p><br />

<p class="sectionheader"><b>Our History</b></p><br />
<p><br />
<p>The Missouri S&T iGEM team was founded under the guidance of Dr. Katie Shannon in 2006. Dr. Shannon learned about the iGEM program at MIT through research associates from Missouri Western State University. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology had pioneered a collaborative research effort to use engineering principles to solve biological problems. Their approach, coined Synthetic Biology, is based on creating a library of interchangeable genetic parts for bacteria and yeast. MIT expanded this project under the International Genetically Engineered Machines banner (iGEM for short). The first competition took place in the summer of 2004 with 5 teams. MIT is expecting 180+ teams in 2010.</p><br />
<p> The Missouri S&T team began with two simple projects of building a biological clock in Escherichia coli and an ethanol sensor in yeast. The projects acted as a test bed while students learned and perfected lab techniques. The team initially split into two research groups, one pursuing the clock while the other began work on an ethanol sensor and the two projects were presented together at the 2007 iGEM Jamboree. The clock project was retired after the 2007 Jamboree, and the ethanol sensor was continued for 2008 iGEM competitions. After the 2008 competition the sensor was retired and the team began its most ambitious project yet.</p><br />
<p> As the 2008 iGEM competition was wrapping up, some students on the team proposed a new project. Using genes from Geobacter sulfurreducens that shuttled electrons outside of the cell, the team wanted to construct an aerobic microbial fuel cell by moving the genes from G. sulfurreducens to E. coli.</p><br />

<p>Ethics<br />
<br />
<p> Synthetic biology is an emerging field that combines engineering approaches to biological systems. It is defined as “The engineering of biological components and systems that do not exist in nature and the re-engineering of existing biological elements; it is determined on the intentional design of artificial biological systems, rather than on the understanding of natural biology” (Synbiology, 2005).</p> <br />
<br />
<p> Synthetic Biology has the potential to completely change the face of this world for the better. Technology is already beginning to advance at a rapid rate and soon the opportunities will be endless. However, there are some important ethical concerns with this new field of research that have not yet been examined in full. The following sections will cover a selection of ethical concerns and examine the consequences of each.</p> <br />
<br />
<p> The most frequently cited ethical issue with synthetic biology is bioterrorism. Many fear that with the decreasing costs of equipment and supplies and the streamlining of lab techniques, anyone could create a deadly weapon. It has been shown that deadly viruses, such as Polio and the Spanish Flu, can readily be recreated (Synthetics, 2007). According to researchers Tucker and Zilinskas, there are really only two types of Bioterrorism threats that could affect us today: the “lone operator” and the “biohacker”. An example of a lone operator would be someone nursing a grudge that has access to, and knowledge of, lab equipment. An example of a biohacker would be someone who recklessly modifies organisms out of curiosity with little of no concern for safety. <br />
However, it is also argued that creating a deadly virus is only one step out of the many needed to initiate widespread bio-terror (Tucker and Zilinkas, 2006). This has led some to conclude that just because the materials are made cheaper doesn’t mean it is any easier than before to create a weapon.</p> <br /><br />
<br />
<p> A second issue regarding the ethics of synthetic biology is the regulation and monitoring of the field. Because this is a relatively new area of research, the effects, good and bad, are not yet clear. Unbiased monitoring systems such as The Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues have just recently been established to oversee the research done in synthetic biology (Bioethics, 2010). Previously, there was no system of checks and balances that could determine whether specific research is ethical, safe, or even necessary. As our technology advances it is important to keep our ethical viewpoints up to date.</p> <br /><br />
<p> It remains to be seen whether this window of unregulated research will yield the most significant advances in synthetic biology. Limitations due to regulation slow the scientific community and could possibly impede research. An ethical dilemma has arisen where the community will soon have to choose between the advancement of science and the prevention of bioterrorism by limiting technological developments (Synthetics, 2007).<br />
Regardless of the regulation path chosen, it is arguable that now is the time when the public needs to be made aware of synthetic biology and its consequences. The general public is not thoroughly informed of the benefits or risks associated with this research. Some feel that, because of the important implications synthetic biology has on society, the public should “be able to have an input into the manner in which it is regulated” (Synthetics, 2007).</p><br /><br />
<br />
<p> Another widely cited ethical concern of synthetic biology is the conservation of natural genomes. The complex system of gene regulation is not perfectly understood and nobody today can claim to know the effects, positive or negative, of artificial genes existing in the gene pool. As synthetic biology becomes more commonplace artificial genes are beginning to show up in nature. Biosafety is the term applied to preventing the risks associated with synthetic biology. Most labs practicing synthetic biology are aware of the risks and take preventative measures to reduce them. <br />
Naturally occurring organisms that contain synthetic elements have been dubbed “biofacts” (Karafyllis, 2007). There is current debate as to whether these organisms should be considered natural or artificial. No commonly defined boundaries between the two have been established.</p> <br /><br />
<br />
<p> The last ethical topic to be discussed here regards the necessity of synthetic biology. This aspect of synthetic biology is not as frequently examined as other areas but deserves a significant amount of thought and consideration. There are numerous technological advancements made possible through the use of synthetic biology. However, these advances may not even be necessary. As so eloquently suggested by Michael Crichton in his classic novel, Jurassic Park, scientists become so preoccupied with whether or not they can do something, they never stop to think whether or not they should. Considering the possible risks associated with synthetic biology, scientists are asking themselves now more than ever if the research is worth it.</p> <br /><br />
<p> One example of this is the creation of a cheaper malaria drug. It is very possible to engineer a cheap way of producing a malaria drug that could be used to help large portions of poorer, southern countries (Ro, 2006). However, dispersing this drug could “lead to an increased dependence on rich countries and companies” (Synthetics, 2007). It is well known that there are other ways to reduce mortality rates due to malaria that do not stunt the development of these countries. Therefore, the community must ask and decide if synthetic biology is necessary in this instance.</p> <br /><br />
<br />
<p> Synthetic biology has the potential to greatly transform our world in positive and negative ways. We all have the responsibility to consider the ethical implications of our research and the research of those around us. Advances in a scientific area require advances in the way the area is applied to and interpreted by society. We must review outdated ethical conceptions of scientific technology to ensure they accurately address the issues at hand. Because of the significant impacts synthetic biology could have on our lives we must seriously consider the ethical arguments for and against it.</p> <br /><br />

<i>"It is well known that microorganisms can produce fuels, such as ethanol, methane and hydrogen, from organic matter. It is less well known that microorganisms can also convert organic matter into electricity in devices known as microbial fuel cells."</i> <br /> ~ Dr. Derek Lovley, 2006.<br />

Jumping from the pages of a science fiction novel, the concept of using microorganisms as a source of electricity is considered by most to be a work of fantasy. In contrast, scientists are starting to explore how using living organisms can solve the impending fuel crisis. Modern thought concludes using microbes to produce energy as inefficient and ineffective; however, microbes can be more reliable than other fuel sources. <br /><br />Microbes were the first form of life on this planet, and have existed for billions of years. The abundance and heartiness of microbes creates the perfect environment for an unlimited sustainable source of energy.<br /><br /> Similar to other fledging scientific fields, a breakthrough in microbial fuel cell development does not occur without difficulties. Our goal has been to transport the electron shuttling pathway from an anaerobic bacterium to an easily manageable aerobic system within E. coli. After countless hours of trial and error, a breakthrough is materializing.<br />

Jumping from the pages of a science fiction novel, the concept of using microorganisms as a source of electricity is considered by most to be a work of fantasy. In contrast, scientists are starting to explore how using living organisms can solve the impending fuel crisis. Modern thought concludes using microbes to produce energy as inefficient and ineffective; however, microbes can be more reliable than other fuel sources. <br /><br />Microbes were the first form of life on this planet, and have existed for billions of years. The abundance and heartiness of microbes creates the perfect environment for an unlimited sustainable source of energy.<br /><br /> Similar to other fledging scientific fields, a breakthrough in microbial fuel cell development does not occur without difficulties. Our goal has been to transport the electron shuttling pathway from an anaerobic bacterium to an easily manageable aerobic system within E. coli. After countless hours of trial and error, a breakthrough is materializing.<br />

<p class="sectionheader"><b>Our History</b></p><br />
<p><br />
The S&T iGEM team has been around since 2007, when we competed with our ethanol sensor project. Our current project is to construct a microbial fuel cell using four outer membrane cytochrome genes from Geobacter and placing them into E. coli. This will allow the easy-to-work-with aerobic E. coli to complete its electron shuttling pathway outside the cell, kicking out electrons that can be used in an electric circuit.<br />

<p class="sectionheader"><b>Our History</b></p><br />
<p><br />
The S&T iGEM team has been around since 2007, when we competed with our ethanol sensor project. Our current project is to construct a microbial fuel cell using four outer membrane cytochrome genes from Geobacter and placing them into E. coli. This will allow the easy-to-work-with aerobic E. coli to complete its electron shuttling pathway outside the cell, kicking out electrons that can be used in an electric circuit.<br />
