This is a template page. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
You are provided with this team page template with which to start the iGEM season. You may choose to personalize it to fit your team but keep the same "look." Or you may choose to take your team wiki to a different level and design your own wiki. You can find some examples HERE.
You MUST have the following information on your wiki:
  • a team description
  • project description
  • safety information (did your team take a safety training course? were you supervised in the lab?)
  • team attribution (who did what part of your project?)
You may also wish to add other page such as:
  • lab notebook
  • sponsor information
  • other information
REMEMBER, keep all of your pages within your teams namespace.
Example: 2013hs.igem.org/Team:CSIA_SouthKorea/Our_Pets


You can write a background of your team here. Give us a background of your team, the members, etc. Or tell us more about something of your choosing.

Tell us more about your project. Give us background. Use this as the abstract of your project. Be descriptive but concise (1-2 paragraphs)

Official Team Profile

Contents

Team

Our team is constituted of 5 high-schoolers, 1 advisor and 1 instructor.

We are students of [http://www.csia.hs.kr CheongShim International Academy], and we are doing our iGEM project at [http://compbio.korea.ac.kr/wiki/index.php/Home Computational & Synthetic Biology Laboratory at Korea University].


Team members:

Gyeongmin Yoo

Eugenie Choe

Sirwoo Kim

Joon Hyuck Moon

MyungGun Seo


Instructor: Prof. In Geol Choi

Advisor: Areum Goh

Project

What are you working on this semester?


Notebook

And if not now, Then when? (Pirkei Avot 1:14)

Our team continuously communicates via frequent Facebook messages, e-mails, and text messages to lively exchange thoughts and ideas; also, we visit CSBL@KU lab about once a week to meet our advisor and do labs.

Brainstorming and Planning

2013-02-13

Eugenie, Gyeongmin, Sirwoo and Joon Hyuck visited the lab to talk to our advisor about the topic of our iGEM project. The following are the ideas that we came up with. Each of them are elaborated on the "Brainstorming" page.

- vanilla-flavor-emitting Lactobacillus, which can be used to make vanilla-flavored yogurt

- inhibition of biofilm-formation of Streptococcus mutans

- CO detecting bacteria

- CO2 fixation bacteria

- bacteria that produces ATP with light, using proteorhodopsin

- plastic degrading bacteria

After the meeting, we did some further search on more information related to the possible topics mentioned above and received feedback from our instructor and advisor.


2013-02-28

Eugenie, Gyeongmin, Joon Hyuck and MyungGun visited the lab.

Before the meeting, through e-mail exchanges and Facebook chats, we had consolidated the direction of our project into constructing bacteria equipped with proteorhodopsin. Our advisor had sent us several theses about this topic; we tried to come up with good ideas on how to apply proteorhodopsin in making the bacteria to perform certain function. We came up with some ideas, such as enhancing butanol production in bacteria or enhancing lactic acid production in Lactobacillus. Later on, our instructor introduced us with 2010 Collegiate iGEM Team Cambridge Project, and suggested to try improving the parts constructed by Team Cambridge by adding gene that expresses proteorhodopsin or by adding other gene that enhances ATP production of E. coli. He also introduced us with [http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-BioPrinter/ DIY BioPrinter] and suggested to create similar BioPrinter that uses bioluminescence proteins expressed by engineered E. coli instead of ink.

During the meeting, we discussed about the mechanism of DIY BioPrinter that we are planning to construct. We came up with two different mechanisms:

1. Using the bioluminescence protein-expressing bacteria itself as ink

2. Using inducers, such as arabinose and IPTG, as ink and printing on agar plate on which bacterial colonies that expresses bioluminescence proteins when contacted with inducers

The iGEM kit has arrived at the lab a few days ago, so we ook a look at it. We learned how to inoculate bacteria into solid and liquid badge, using the sample E. coli (Part A and Part B) that were included in the kit.

Results/Conclusions

What did you achieve over the course of your semester?


Safety

What safety precautions did your team take? Did you take a safety training course? Were you supervised at all times in the lab?


Attributions

Who worked on what?


Human Practices

What impact does/will your project have on the public?


Fun!

What was your favorite team snack?? Have a picture of your team mascot?
