Abstract Domoic acid is an organic acid found in algal blooms and shellfish, and is produced by dinoflagellates. This organic acid is a neurotoxin that is both responsible for seafood poisoning and red tide fish kills. Its chemical structure includes kainic acid, a relatively harmless organic acid derivative of the amino acid proline. Currently, ELISAs for domoic acid test false positives when in contact with kainic acid; this causes safe seafood to be thrown away due to concerns of domoic acid tainting. Moreover, E.coli bacteria can degrade and live off of L-proline. The purpose of this project is to bioengineer E.coli, using the codon for L-proline degradation, to degrade and detect domoic acid, as well as educating the general public about the risks of domoic acid poisoning and the positive and negative externalities of bioengineering." | File:Jefferson VA SciCOS team.png Your team picture |
