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 <a href="https://2009.igem.org/Help:Template/Examples">HERE</a>.

===Project===
 
-
What are you working on this semester?
 
-
 
-
We are planning to create a pH sensor/expression device. This device would allow bacteria to sense the pH of their environment and then indicate that pH by producing a color change. We think this could be used in hydroponics to indicate that the growth medium is at a proper pH. Eventually we would like to insert a gene that can respond to pH changes by secreting Hydrogen ions or Hydroxyl ions.

What safety precautions did your team take? Did you take a safety training course? Were you supervised at all times in the lab?
 
-
Although we are focusing on the first step of the project this year, it is important for us to consider the safety precautions we must take in the future. Our bacteria is meant to indicate and adjust the pH of a specific area. While this is helpful if the bacteria is controlled, a lack of constraint concerning the ability of the bacteria to travel could potentially be harmful. In order to prevent this, we have incorporated a part into the bacteria in order to disable it should it migrate.

'''Economic Considerations:'''
 
-
Common methods of decreasing the pH of soil in existence now include using sulfur compounds such as magnesium sulfate of ammonium sulphate. While these substances are not expensive in small quantities (a 21 pound bag can be found at Home Depot for about $25) and may be suited for use in small, private gardens, it becomes expensive when a large area is involved. Our proton pump incorporated into a bacterium could be, in the long term, sufficiently cheaper, for bacteria can self replicate and large quantities of it can be produced in a relatively short time span. Once the initial bacteria are created, having them reproduce into a large quantity of substance can be done virtually cost-free.

It’s a bird! No, it’s a plane! No, It’s SUPERBACTERIA!

Our SuperBacteria will detect dangerously low or high levels of various nutrients, indicate a fluctuation with a red or green protein from a reporter gene, and correct the concentrations by secreting or absorbing the appropriate nutrient. It is the savior of hydroponics that the world has been looking for! Hydroponics is a system in which plants are grown in a nutrient-rich solution. These bacteria are self-sustaining and will cut the costs of expensive machinery that is currently required to monitor nutrient levels. Currently we are working on having our SuperBacteria detect and indicate non-ideal levels of pH.

We hope to help farmers worldwide by creating a bacteria that can help indicate pH imbalance over a large area and eventually create a bacteria that can help indicate imbalance and correct it.
