Description

This project involves the modification of the bacterium Escherichia coli, through Synthetic Biology, which is based on the creation or modification of existing organisms, making them have the characteristics that we want. This organism will sense the high levels of alpha, beta, gamma rays and X-rays emitted, factors that cause a mutation in the DNA of said bacterium that will give a purple coloration and the aroma to lemon. To validate that the research is necessary and supported by specialists in the area, a survey was conducted to radiology students, medical technologists and radiology center workers, obtaining an 83% approval, on the need for better dosimeters that are reliable results .
