Bronze Medal

√ 1. We have registered the Team TJU and we have worked whole summer prepared for Giant Jamboree.

√ 2. We have successfully completed and submitted our team’s iGEM 2015. Judging Form.

√ 3. We have created and shared a detailed description of our team’s project by iGEM wiki, and we have documented our parts using the Registry of Standard Biological Parts.

√ 4. We have well prepared the presentation of our Poster and Talk at the Giant Jamboree.

√ 5. We have already created the page of clear Attribution on our wiki.
(Including the detailed information about the division of work done by our team members. And we have clearly documented all the technique, funding, lab and general supports given by our instructors, faculty members, postgraduate students and other institutes.)

√ 6. We have documented BBa_K1696012, BBa_K1696006, BBa_K1696007 central to our project and submitted these parts to the iGEM Registry. All the submissions have adhered to the iGEM Registry guidelines.

Silver Medal

√ 1. We have experimentally validated our lactate producing system works as expected! And the core part of the system, BBa_K1696003 have proved to produce enough lactate in our MFC device. After the knockout of pflB, the strain has successfully produced 3g/L lactate with the part. It was higher than the strain which was only knockout pflB.

√ 2. We have submitted the part BBa_K1696003 to the iGEM Parts Registry. And it was different from the parts we documented in Bronze Medal.

√ 3. For Human Practices, firstly, we have writen and printed the first iGEM handbook in Chinese. Then we sent them to a lot of schools in China. For most schools, they have not participated or heard about iGEM before. Secondly, we went to TUST(Tianjin University of Science and Technology) to help the students there to start fore coming iGEM team next year. Thirdly, we have meet-ups with Univeristät des Saarlandes, Germany, Lanzhou University’s iGEM Team (LZU_China) and iGEM Foundation this year. Fourthly, we have combined our project with safety and public education.

Gold Medal

√ 1. Our first version iGEM Handbook in Chinese play an important role in propaganda and education to public and students in china. Aimed at further applications of MFCs, we have discussed on the issue of safety.

√ 2. We have successfully mentored new high school

√ 3. We have successfully improved the riboflavin yield by modified the rib cluster based on the part BBa_K1172303 constructed by 2013 iGEM Team Bielefelf-Germany. The improved part is BBa_K1696010.(for more detailed Click Here)

√ 4. We successfully constructed and well-characterized MFC micro-consortia system. We have successfully co-cultured three different species micro-organism including E.coli, B.subtilis and Shewanella. We have successfully improved the capability of our co-culture MFC and reached the voltage to 520mV by using glucose as carbon source.

1. We collaborated with 5 other iGEM teams and helped BIT_China by sharing DNA materials, debugging and characterizing their parts! (for more details Click Here)

2. We outlined in detail two new approach of Human Pratice called "60 Second Synthetic Biology" and “Plague Inc”(in safety page) for “iGEM Leading-in”, which are based on our energy-related background of our project and enable more people to learn about Synthetic Biology in a short time, whether they are high school students or college students without an iGEM background. (for more details Click Here)

3. We submitted 12 high quality and well-characterized standard biobricks! Their functions worked as expected. (for more details: Click Here)

4. We improved a previous part, which is the part of Strong Constitutive Expression of ADC and AAR in pSB1C3 (BBa_K590025). The improved part is BBa_K1020008.

5. We did a sensor device that can specifically detect intracellular concentration of alkanes for engineered E.coli. It’s a new approach to small-molecular selection. (for more details: Click Here)

6. We successfully constructed and well-characterized our alkane sensor in different ways to detect long chain alkane seperately. (for more details: Click Here)

7. A good filter was constructed to achieve higher productivity strains which may be applied in the field ofenergy. (for more details: Click Here)

Therefore, we believe that we deserve a Gold Medal Prize.
