<h4> Styling your wiki </h4>
 
<p>You may style this page as you like or you can simply leave the style as it is. You can easily keep the styling and edit the content of these default wiki pages with your project information and completely fulfill the requirement to document your project.</p>
 
<p>While you may not win Best Wiki with this styling, your team is still eligible for all other awards. This default wiki meets the requirements, it improves navigability and ease of use for visitors, and you should not feel it is necessary to style beyond what has been provided.</p>

<li>Be clear about what you are doing and how you plan to do this.</li>

<li>Make sure information is easy to find; nothing should be more than 3 clicks away.  </li>
+
<li>Avoid using very small fonts and low contrast colors; information should be easy to read.  </li>

<li>Start documenting your project as early as possible; don’t leave anything to the last minute before the Wiki Freeze. For a complete list of deadlines visit the <a href="https://2015.igem.org/Calendar_of_Events">iGEM 2015 calendar</a> </li>

Our team

Sorry, this page is under construction!

Very recently, there’s been a small shift in the world of synthetic biology. Rather than focus on single organisms - the modus operandi of the biotech industry - researchers are starting to recognize that synthetic ecosystems, consortia of multiple bacterial species, can be used for higher yields, robustness and more diverse purposes. Our goal is to tap into this potential by creating a self-sustaining bio-factory of cyanobacteria - little fellows that need only CO2 and light - and product-producing E. coli, the general workhorse of the synthetic biology world.

In short: the cyanobacteria will create sugars from CO2 and sunlight, which it will release and feed to E. coli as a result of our applied synthetic genetic circuits. E. coli will then be engineered to use these sugars to create a product. In our proof-of-concept bio-factory, this product will be fuel. This platform, however, can be expanded to produce any product E. coli can fabricate - medicine, plastics, commodity chemicals - as long as it is fueled by the cyanobacteria that only needs light and CO2.
