SILVER MEDAL

Validate a Part

BBa_K2260001

We submitted a new gene to the registry to assist in the production of PHB: the phaJ gene that codes for PHB enoyl-CoA hydratase. This part contains both the phaJ and phaC genes and was shown to produce PHB on its own in E. coli under the control of an IPTG-inducible promoter. HPLC was used to identify and quantify the PHB produced. Results can be found on our part's Registry page.

Collaboration

View our Canadian iGEM newsletter and wet-lab work with other iGEM teams on our Collaborations page!

Human Practices Silver

We carefully weighed the effects our project could have in a variety of applications, and considered possible benefits, challenges, and safety concerns . See our Human Practices Silver page for more info!
