Under the guidance of key academic staff in the biomolecular and synthetic biology field, our overall project aims to utilise photosynthetic processes of algae for the production of a renewable hydrogen source. In doing so, we aim to facilitate the development of technologies that would drastically reduce the environmental costs involved in hydrogen fuel production. We will be building off the progress of last year’s Macquarie iGEM team by introducing the genes directly involved in a hydrogen gas production pathway, into E.coli. We then plan to test the effectiveness of this hydrogenase production pathway through its ability to produce hydrogen gas, when coupled with maturation enzymes and ferredoxin reductase, within the E.coli bacteria.

Description

Tell us about your project, describe what moves you and why this is something important for your team.

What should this page contain?

A clear and concise description of your project.
A detailed explanation of why your team chose to work on this particular project.
References and sources to document your research.
Use illustrations and other visual resources to explain your project.

Advice on writing your Project Description

We encourage you to put up a lot of information and content on your wiki, but we also encourage you to include summaries as much as possible. If you think of the sections in your project description as the sections in a publication, you should try to be consist, accurate and unambiguous in your achievements.

Judges like to read your wiki and know exactly what you have achieved. This is how you should think about these sections; from the point of view of the judge evaluating you at the end of the year.

References

iGEM teams are encouraged to record references you use during the course of your research. They should be posted somewhere on your wiki so that judges and other visitors can see how you thought about your project and what works inspired you.
