This team suggested light induced system to prevent the spreading of their genetically engineered bacteria. According to their data and experiment, this system works <em>in vitro</em> in a lab environment. If we think about Bee. Coli in the environmet and live bees, it’s easy to imagine that this kind of bacteria can spread in the dark and get into other species.</p> |
<p class="text-justify">If we added our Coliclock system into Bee. coli, bacteria would produce proteins against <em>Nosema ceranae</em>, parazite, which affects bees and causes them to get sick and after some time this bacteria will die. In theory, Bee. coli project would ne responsible for the protein system, whilst our construct, Coliclock would be responsible for the time of the performed function. Regulation of light is not essential here and bacteria will back out on its own.</p> | <p class="text-justify">If we added our Coliclock system into Bee. coli, bacteria would produce proteins against <em>Nosema ceranae</em>, parazite, which affects bees and causes them to get sick and after some time this bacteria will die.

<p class="text-justify">Many iGEM projects, associated with some kind of material degradation, are based on the idea that bacteria only lives, when there is enough food around it. For example, oil decomposing bacteria dies, when there is scarcity of an oil around. But this system is not 100% safe. Bacteria does not have a system that prevents accidental spreading. Our system can be a solution.</p> | <p class="text-justify">Many iGEM projects, associated with some kind of material degradation, are based on the idea that bacteria only lives, when there is enough food around it.

Their bacteriaq is able to decompose PET in seas and use following degradation products to synthesize bioactive compouds. In this case we can suggest our system. If we had incorporated Coliclock in Plasticure, it would become a safe solution to world oceans.</p> |

Team Imperial tried to solve the soil erosion problem. The main problem here is that a plant's, which grows in very dry environment, roots can not reach water in soil. Then, obviously, it can not grow. |
