Research of the previous Team's work

iGEM Mexico 2007

• Project Failed
• Admitted were underfunded, no results shown

iGEM Mexico 2009

• Apparently 11 out of 12 ligations were successful - they would have been able to test the system had the final ligation occurred.
• The only experimental results were those demonstrating that AHL was initiating it's own transcription via the expression of GFP.

iGEM 2008 Cambridge team - iBrain

• Planned to use similar quorum sensing mechanisms with the lux operon to detect activity. However, the lux operon would not work in a gram positive organism such as Bacillus therefore only E.coli could work.
