Project Description
Our Motivation
Public toilets are associated with a foul odour, which is primarily due to ammonia released from decomposition of urine. Not only is ammonia a health hazard, it also deters potential users! Some of the existing solutions to tackle the stench in urinals are:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
We wish to tackle this situation to make using public toilets less taxing on the senses. Using the tools of synthetic biology, we plan to work toward completely eliminating the odour, instead of merely masking it.
We aim to engineer E. coli to assimilate ammonia from the environment, converting it into innocuous byproducts. The engineered microbes will be housed in a compact and portable device that can be installed in public toilets. Air containing ammonia will be channeled through this device, and ammonia will be utilized by the microbes as a source of nitrogen.
