<h4> Uploading pictures and files </h4>
 
<p> You can upload your pictures and files to the iGEM 2015 server. Remember to keep all your pictures and files within your team's namespace or at least include your team's name in the file name. <br />
 
When you upload, set the "Destination Filename" to <code>Team:YourOfficialTeamName/NameOfFile.jpg</code>. (If you don't do this, someone else might upload a different file with the same "Destination Filename", and your file would be erased!)</p>

University of Reading - iGEM 2015

This year, the Reading team plans to expand on last year's work and produce a more efficient, safe, and easy to maintain biological photovoltaic (BPV). We will be using and modifying the cyanobacterium, Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 as a renewable source of cheap electricity in a photovoltaic cell.

We aim to redirect electron flow by removing electron sinks in the metabolism of Synechocystis, and to increase the output of electrons from the cell to the electrodes by inducing hyperpilation in the bacteria.
