| - | The [https://2009.igem.org/Team:UQ-Australia/Team UQ-Australia team] consists of 9 undergraduate students, aided by 4 supervisors. 2009 is our first year of involvement in iGEM. UQ-Australia aims to tackle two important global environmental issues, which are of special interest to Australia.

| - | '''Project 1: Bioprecipitation'''<br/>
| + | |
| - | This project aims to optimise the ice-nucleating ability of ''P. syringae'' at elevated temperatures with the goal to induce precipitation. So, can bacteria help drought, by bringing on rain? Well, we're trying to find out!

| - | '''Project 2: Biofiltration'''<br/>
| + | |
| - | This project aims to modify the mercury uptake, reduction and efflux system in ''E. coli'' to reduce mercury contamination in water supplies. If this project is successful, it is likely that a similar approach would be effective in mitigating other types of heavy metal contamination.
