Our team is interested in exploring the properties of extremophiles, including Halobacteria. We have two major projects in mind:

Biofuels
The international oil industry drives our economy and very life of the world. However, this resource is dwindling and has detrimental effects on our atmosphere. In order to reduce oil usage and dependence, we will improve the efficiency of bio-fuels by manipulating the microbes used in their creation. By mimicking the features of extremophiles such as halobacteria, we will increase the survival of microbes in extreme temperatures and saline environments. These useful, untapped microbes can also be used to degrade plant waste, and, someday, even household waste.

Life on Mars
By adding various features of extremophiles such as halobacteria, we will give microbes the ability to survive the hostile conditions on Mars, enabling them to grow in low oxygen/high carbon dioxide atmosphere with little water. In addition to extreme temperatures, the microbe needs to withstand mild radiation. We can do this by using a photosynthetic chassis, expressing antifreeze proteins.
