Ideas Brainstorm
Phil
- Arsenic sequestering or heavy metal
- Detect using fluorescence
- Last year did it/Cambridge
- Pigments... can we improve?
Zoltan
- Degrading hydrocarbons
- B. subtillis can do this already can we improve it
- Problem biofilms, we must stop the bacteria forming a biofilm
- Oil slicks
- Bacteria already do it, not as fit.
- Ethics
- Environment not contained
- Damaging to wild life, counterproductive to cleaning up the oil slick
Steven
- Removal of CO2
- Making biotechnology safer
- Kill switches
- Reducing rates of mutation
Harsh
- CO2 to isobutynol
- Cut cyclic chain , fuel instead of fat
- Spores not germinate
- Weaponised hydrocarbon spores
- Need clean burn
Alan
- Nitrogen fixation in soil
- Enhance
- Better promoter
- Nitrogenase genes
- Anaerobic
- 2009 heavy metal sequestering plus fertiliser
- Plant root, protect(fungicide), fertilise
Timeline
- Key Point on Monday
- Work backward from November - Igem deadlines ... last years - Personal constraints ... exam periods - Booking flights etc - On agenda again next week - Project decision |-
6. Action points
|- |Security –Zoltan /Anil talk to Dan |- |Start learning code- Everyone (who hasn’t already) |- |Add new members to mailing list-Jen |- |Send then the link to the wiki- Zoltan |- |Extend Monday meeting time-Zoltan |- |Project management software-Jennetta |- |Aim~ 5 projects in each area |- |Tutorials -clone manager and sequential, what is a biobrick tutorial, modelling tutorial –Anil and Jen/ We need to ask for them in advance |- |Register!- Anil and Jen |- |Add our own personal deadlines to the wiki- everyone |- |Program to sort out who's going to go through each of the past Igem projects –Zoltan |- |Breaking up past igems, review 30 each, linking up on wiki- all |-
7. Any other business
- May need to change 5pm meeting time - More ideas all our ideas are environmental - How many areas?- Best food/energy, Best environment, Best Health and medicine, Best manufacturing, Best new app, Best information processing, Best software tool - We should have a standing agenda - We need to start characterising early on |- |What is a bio brick? - Chunk of DNA - Defined start / end - Easily connected - No scars - Same restriction sites - Cut ends not middle - Like Lego bricks |-
