The whole team's very first brainstorm. Focusing on the water industry, we managed to develop some interesting ideas to research further, which include:
1. Self healing pipes - a method for pipes to 'recover' from damage using bacterial biofilms.
2. Water desalination - how we can use specialised bacteria to lower the salt content of sea water to make it drinkable.
3. Lowering nitrate levels - using bacteria to lower nitrate levels in rivers, helping to promote healthy living conditions for fish
4. Carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus ratios - alteration of these using bacteria to inhibit growth of pathogenic bacteria
5. "Bactoshave!" - the bacterial shaving system... (patent pending)
