We achieved GOLD Medal Criteria, certainly!

Tracks/Food Nutrition

Bronze Medal

Q1.Register for iGEM, have a great summer, and attend the Giant Jamboree.

A1.

Q2.Complete the Judging form.

3.Create and share a Description of the team's project using the iGEM wiki, and document the team's parts using the Registry of Standard Biological Parts.

4.Present a poster and a talk at the iGEM Jamboree. See the 2015 poster guidelines for more information.

5.Create a page on your team wiki with clear attribution of each aspect of your project. This page must clearly attribute work done by the students and distinguish it from work done by others, including host labs, advisors, instructors, sponsors, professional website designers, artists, and commercial services.

6.Document at least one new standard BioBrick Part or Device central to your project and submit this part to the iGEM Registry (submissions must adhere to the iGEM Registry guidelines). You may also document a new application of a BioBrick part from a previous iGEM year, adding that documentation to the part's main page.

Silver Medal

Experimentally validate that at least one new BioBrick Part or Device of your own design and construction works as expected. Document the characterization of this part in the Main Page section of the Registry entry for that Part/Device. This working part must be different from the part you documented in Bronze medal criterion	りんご
Submit this new part to the iGEM Parts Registry. This part must be different from the part you documented in Bronze medal criterion	パン
iGEM projects involve important questions beyond the bench, for example relating to (but not limited to) ethics, sustainability, social justice, safety, security, and intellectual property rights. We refer to these activities as Human Practices in iGEM. Demonstrate how your team has identified, investigated and addressed one or more of these issues in the context of your project.	しょう油

Gold Medal

Choose one of these two options: (1) Expand on your silver medal Human Practices activity by demonstrating how you have integrated the investigated issues into the design and/or execution of your project. OR (2) Demonstrate an innovative Human Practices activity that relates to your project (this typically involves educational, public engagement, and/or public perception activities	りんご
Help any registered iGEM team from a high-school, different track, another university, or institution in a significant way by, for example, mentoring a new team, characterizing a part, debugging a construct, modeling/simulating their system or helping validate a software/hardware solution to a synbio problem.	パン
Improve the function OR characterization of a previously existing BioBrick Part or Device (created by another team, or by your own team in in a previous year of iGEM), and enter this information in the part's page on the Registry. Please see the Registry Contribution help page for help on documenting a contribution to an existing part. This part must not come from your team's 2015 range of part numbers.	しょう油
Demonstrate a functional prototype of your project. Your prototype can derive from a previous project (that was not demonstrated to work) by your team or by another team. Show this system working under real-world conditions that you simulate in the lab.	豚肉

iGEM Nagahama 2015

Human takes a meal to live.
We use refrigerator to store food.
We use approximately 18 trillion kilowatts in the world.
Do you imagine it?
Probably you cannot do it.
Electric of the refrigerator is including it. The refrigerator prevents bacterial growth. General family in some developed countries, it is essential electric appliances to live.

In other hand, some developing countries are not provided electricity. They cannot use the refrigerator. Then we thought method for preserving foods without using one. We researched more and more.

Resulting, we found lemon, rose, wasabi, and basil has the antibacterial activity of volatile substance. We suggested it can preserve foods using such substance. We call this box “Kozoko”. "Kozoko" don’t need electricity.

We investigated studies and experimented. As a result of having conducted various investigations. I found that the fragrance (i.e. terpenoid) of the plants such as a lemon, a rose, and the basil are antibacterial. If this fragrance ingredient fills it in a box, we can preserve the food. The storage of food preservation using the fragrance from these plants seems to be called "Kozoko". The spread of "Kozoko" will solve the future energy problem, but it don’t spread present age. There are some difficult points, grinding a plant, needing environment to grow plants, and taking many costs. From these reasons, we thought "Kozoko" don’t spread present age.

There is the following reason for it.

1.It is trouble to grind a plant.

2.Itcosts to bring up plant oneself.

3.Environment raising a plant to use is necessary.

etc...

This year, we design the "Kozoko" of the modern version using synthetic biology to resolve its previous problems.
