Ink Production

In order for us to produce ink with our pigments we first must extract them from our cells, this will be done with an organic extraction.

The modeling portion of our project will allow us to estimate our pigment yields. The main pigment example that we are using is melanin. We borrowed from the Lagunas-Mu-oz et al-2006-Journal of Applied Microbiology and we learned that the yields of melanin in E. coli are the highest at a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and at a pH of 7.0. Basing a model off of this will help us reach one of the highest melanin yields ever attained. We will be comparing our experimental results to theirs as well.
