Description

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

Our project will engineer Bacillus subtilis(italic) that could be disposed at sites of oil spill to clean up the environment. Our bacteria will overproduce and export surfactin efficiently facilitate its breakdown and achieve bioremediation. The overproduction is mediated by CRISPRa targeting surfactin endogenous synthase genes and the export is achieved by expressing lmrA, a multidrug resistance transporter that could be engineered to have the desired substrate specificity.

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.
