- Attendance: Philip Hall, Rachel Boyd, Zoltan Balogh, Harsh Sheth, Younus Essa, Alan Koh, Steven Woodhouse, Da Ye, Jannetta, Richard, Matt, Jen and Anil
Summary of the last meeting
- We will need to look over past projects:
- working with B. subtilis and the
- winners and the
- rest of the projects
- Summary of last informal meeting
- B. subtilis must be in italics!
Wiki update
- Login will be changed to password protected
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
