The Story so far
(19 June 2010):
Jeremy Nagels, a student at Monash university, Ebony and Symon have begun discussing various project ideas. These include:
Oscillators
The use of the Hydrogenase 3 complex to generate Hydrogen within E Coli as a form of biofuel.
The possibility of biological prevention of tooth decay with biobricks.
The application of biobricks to a mixed cell community.
The development of cell free transcription/ translation within a cellular system, for example the phloem of a plant, (although the development of this level of symbiosis may be the stuff of future projects)
The attempt is being made to develop a project that in some ways reflects these interests and possibly taps a common thread underlying them.
A leading possibility is the creation of a biofilter inspired by the examples of the the Cambridge 2009 biosensor project. The search is on to find which pollutant and which strain/ strains/ species of organisms can be used.
