Teams that can show their system working under real world conditions are usually good at impressing the judges in iGEM. To achieve gold medal criterion #4, convince the judges that your project works. There are many ways in which your project working could be demonstrated, so there is more than one way to meet this requirement. This gold medal criterion was introduced in 2016, so check our what 2016 teams did to achieve a their gold medals!

                Having characterized our own phage, we evolved a resistant bacterium against it using a single chemostat
 +
                setup over the course of 24 hours. Samples of the culture were then plated out and three resistant
 +
                bacterial colonies were further studied (Res1 , 2 and 3). We characterized them together with the
 +
                unevolved <i>Escherichia coli</i> strain (control) for resistance to phage. We found that none of the resistant colonies
 +
                showed signs of infection after two hours, but after five hours one of the two repeats of Res2 and both
 +
                repeats of Res3 were lysed, indicating that phage that were potent against these strains were present
 +
                in small quantities in our sewage phage sample. Five hours is about three generations. Thus the
 +
                occurrence frequency of these phage in the original phage sample was about 10<sup>-6</sup>-10<sup>-7</sup>.

                We then performed a round of phage evolution using our three chemostat system on the original <i>E. coli</i>
 +
                strain and the Res1 strain (that was not lysed by the original phage even after 8 hours).  We purified
 +
                phage from the phage-evolving chemostat and tested the phage on our original strain as well as on all
 +
                the resistant ones. Our new phage sample lysed all strains within 1.5 hours after induction, indicating
 +
                that the newly evolved phage was highly enriched in the sample. This gave us the proof of concept that
 +
                we were aiming for: We first evolved bacteria that were resistant to our original phage strain and then
 +
                we managed to evolve a new strain of phage that could lyse the resistant bacteria
 +
                (in addition to the old ones)!

If you have built a proof of concept system, you can demonstrate it working under real world conditions. If you have built a biological device that is intended to be a sensor, can you show it detecting whatever it is intended to sense. If it is intended to work in the field, you can show how this might work using a simulated version in the lab, or a simulation of your device in the field.<strong> Please note biological materials must not be taken out of the lab</strong>.

Demonstration

Having characterized our own phage, we evolved a resistant bacterium against it using a single chemostat setup over the course of 24 hours. Samples of the culture were then plated out and three resistant bacterial colonies were further studied (Res1 , 2 and 3). We characterized them together with the unevolved Escherichia coli strain (control) for resistance to phage. We found that none of the resistant colonies showed signs of infection after two hours, but after five hours one of the two repeats of Res2 and both repeats of Res3 were lysed, indicating that phage that were potent against these strains were present in small quantities in our sewage phage sample. Five hours is about three generations. Thus the occurrence frequency of these phage in the original phage sample was about 10-6-10-7.

Three strains of phage-resistant E. coli challenged with phage they were evolved against (sewage phage).

We then performed a round of phage evolution using our three chemostat system on the original E. coli strain and the Res1 strain (that was not lysed by the original phage even after 8 hours). We purified phage from the phage-evolving chemostat and tested the phage on our original strain as well as on all the resistant ones. Our new phage sample lysed all strains within 1.5 hours after induction, indicating that the newly evolved phage was highly enriched in the sample. This gave us the proof of concept that we were aiming for: We first evolved bacteria that were resistant to our original phage strain and then we managed to evolve a new strain of phage that could lyse the resistant bacteria (in addition to the old ones)!

Three strains of phage-resistant E. coli challenged with phage evolved in chemostat.
