A small meeting between Thomas Leach, Narmada Herath and Steven Garrett comparing 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 iGEM projects from other universities. Particular interest was taken in microbial fuel cells, as these may be adapted for desalination. We're hoping to look further into exploiting this to desalinate samples of water, possibly in cartridge form | A small meeting between Thomas Leach, Narmada Herath and Steven Garrett comparing 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 iGEM projects from other universities.

Previous projects using search and destroy bacteria and self healing pipes were also considered in some detail. These will be discussed further during the next meeting. | Previous projects using search and destroy bacteria and self healing pipes were also considered in some detail.

Wednesday 23rd June - Pseudo-meeting --Tleach 14:42, 25 August 2010 (UTC) A small meeting between Thomas Leach, Narmada Herath and Steven Garrett comparing 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 iGEM projects from other universities. Particular interest was taken in microbial fuel cells, as these may be adapted for desalination. We're hoping to look further into exploiting this to desalinate samples of water, possibly in cartridge form Previous projects using search and destroy bacteria and self healing pipes were also considered in some detail. These will be discussed further during the next meeting. The Wikis we noted were: 2009: - Lethbridge, City College San Francisco and Missouri (bacterial fuel cells) - Columbia (sea water salt detection) - Wisconsin (increased resistance to salt) - Brussels (E.coli glue) - Newcastle (ion sequestering) 2008: - Heidelberg (targetting biofilms in pipes) - Brown (electrical reporting system) - Lethbridge (Search and destroy harmful hydrocarbons) - Calgary (pathogen killing machine) - Illinois (cholera detection) - Newcastle (B. subtillus as a biosensor) - Edinburgh (producing starch from cellulose and biomass) 2007: - Columbia (biosensor) - Glasgow (fuel cell) - MIT (clearing mercury contamination) - Turkey (pH dependent metal ion transporter) - South Utah (cyanide biosensor) - Brown (Lead contamination) 2006: - Edinburgh (sensing arsenic in drinking water)
