Project Overview
Welcome to
Yale-iGEM 2010!
In our inaugural year of iGEM competition, we have designed a system to harness biology to construct conductive circuits.
By enabling E. coli to affect local redox chemistry, we can use bacteria to catalyze metal deposition. When this activity is controlled spatially and temporally, this method could be used to construct circuit elements in a specified geometry. This would allow the manufacture of electrical components under biological conditions.

Biochemistry of Sulfate Reducing Bacteria
Papers on Sulfate Reducing Bacteria
Sulfate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) comprise a class of chemolithotrophic microorganisms that couple anaerobic electron transport to ATP synthesis, using sulfate as a terminal electron acceptor.
