The Team!
This year the team is composed by 8 undergraduate/graduate students and three supervisors from three different schools within the University of Edinburgh (Biology, Engineering and Informatics).

The Project!
Currently have two projects we are looking to take forward:
1. Bacterial counter
Self flavouring yoghurt
Project Goal
Engineer lactic acid bacteria, such as Lactobacillus acidiphilus to synthesise flavours and colours during yoghurt production. The idea is to stimulate the synthesis of a certain flavour and colour via the addition of an external stimulus. Due to the nature of the finished product we will be using several disaccharide stimulated promoters, such as maltose, trehalose and arabinose.
IP Talk
Some members of the team presented a talk on Synthetic Biology and Intellectual Property to the Linux Users Group in Edinburgh
