Main Goals of Glasgow Project
- Design and make new BioBricks for detection systems: XylR, Pu, Pr, DntR and DntA.
- Design and make new BioBricks for the production of pyocyanin.
- Clone genes and test responsiveness/sensitivity in non-pathogenic bacteria using ONPG.
- Clone genes into shuttle vector and test motility/transferability in both E. coli and pseudomonads.
- Get E. coli to produce pyocyanin.
- Improve efficiency of fuel cells.
- Make fuel cells with E. coli or pseudomonads which respond to stimuli to produce pyocyanin.
- Active collaboration between the biologists and the modellers to produce models that can accurately describe the behaviour of the chosen systems.
- Explore a variety of different computational approaches to study the behaviour of the chosen systems.
- Computational validation of hypotheses proposed by the biologists.
