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:SharonBasicallyAcid/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.

Team

Tell us about your team, your school!



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.

Notebook

Show us how you spent your days.


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? 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.

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?
