The Team!

https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2007/0/0f/EdinburghTeam.jpg

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:

Bacterial counter

Operons Overview

Project Goal

The aim is to produce output as a function of cell division. This can have the added potential of performing programmed cell death after a determined number of divisions. We also hope to further analyse cell division and recombinase mechanisms.


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 promoters induced by the disaccharides maltose, trehalose and arabinose.

The project will be carried out in two steps. The first step is to generate the flavour and colour biosynthesis pathways in E. coli, before transferring them to Lactobacillus.


TargetsOperons Overview
  • Insert a biobrick into a non E. coli bacterium (Bacillus Sublillis)
  • Engineer a pathway to make Vanillin
Operons Overview
Potential Flavours Potential Colours
Vanilla Orange
Strawberry Red
Lemon Yellow
Orange Pink

IP Talk

Some members of the team presented a talk on Synthetic Biology and Intellectual Property to the Linux Users Group in Edinburgh
