<p>Who wouldn't take the chance of running your own biotech project? It wasn't so easy to pick the topic though. After many <a href="https://2010.igem.org/Team:TU_Delft/Notebook/brainstorm">brainstorm sessions</a> and knock-out events, <a href="https://2010.igem.org/Team:TU_Delft/Team">the team</a> finally agreed upon going for the most ambitious project. Struck by the devistation caused by <a href="https://2010.igem.org/Team:TU_Delft/Project/introduction">oil polution</a> we set out to develop a <a href="https://2010.igem.org/Team:TU_Delft/Project">biological system for the degradation of oil</a>. From <a href="https://2010.igem.org/Team:TU_Delft/Project/references">literature</a> we learned that by combining existing genes from multiple spieces we would be able to realize our dream. <a href="https://2010.igem.org/Team:TU_Delft/Project/alkane-degradation">Degradation</a> alone was not enough for us however. So we designed our bug to be able to <a href="https://2010.igem.org/Team:TU_Delft/Project/sensing">sense alkanes</a>, <a href="https://2010.igem.org/Team:TU_Delft/Project/tolerance">tolerate high concentrations</a> of salt and hydrocarbons and produce an emulsifier for <a href="https://2010.igem.org/Team:TU_Delft/Project/solubility">increasing alkane solubility</a>.  

<p>During long incubation periods we put a lot of effort in the <a href="https://2010.igem.org/Team:TU_Delft/Safety">safety</a> and <a href="https://2010.igem.org/Team:TU_Delft#page=Human-practice">human practice</a>. We featured in the <a href="https://2010.igem.org/Team:TU_Delft/Safety/society/who-owns-you">bio-ethics documentary</a> <i>Who Owns You</i> and in <a href="https://2010.igem.org/Team:TU_Delft#page=Publicity/in-the-news">national tv and radio broadcasts</a>. The cooperation with the new <a href="https://2010.igem.org/Team:TU_Delft/Education/science-museum">Science Museum</a> in Delft resulted in a spectacular Biotech Corner including the <a href="https://2010.igem.org/Team:TU_Delft/Education/game">Synthetic Biology Game</a> designed by us.

<p>Perhaps most importantly iGEM was a lot of <a href="https://2010.igem.org/Team:TU_Delft/Team/gallery">fun</a> and equiped us with many new skills and experience. When playing with our <a href="https://2010.igem.org/Team:TU_Delft/Team/ijam">iJAM Band</a> we eased our ligation troubles.
