But what if CO<sub>2</sub> were a resource, rather than a wasteful pollutant; and might even replace oil? We aspire to create a bio-based economy – one that meets its energy and production demands by leveraging biotechnology [1]. We can genetically engineer bacteria to produce a compound we need. This is what we call a bacterial ‘cell factory’.

−
<p>We have created these wiki template pages to help you get started and to help you think about how your team will be evaluated. You can find a list of all the pages tied to awards here at the <a href="https://2017.igem.org/Judging/Pages_for_Awards">Pages for awards</a> link. You must edit these pages to be evaluated for medals and awards, but ultimately the design, layout, style and all other elements of your team wiki is up to you!</p>

<h1>Transporter</h1>
 +
<p>In anticipation of high fumarate production, transport of fumarate out of the cell can be a limiting factor. This mechanism is largely unknown in Synechocystis and will therefore be -guided by bioinformatics- characterized by means of knock-out and over- expression experiments.

<h1>Glyoxylate Shunt</h1>
 +
<p>We will incorporate two enzymes (the glyoxylate shunt) in the Synechocystis genome, creating a shortcut in the TCA-cycle. Our modeling results show that if this shunt is only expressed at night, and the pentose phosphate pathway is blocked by knocking out the zwf gene, more fumarate will be produced. This means we will create a unique combination of growth- coupled and inducible production.

<h1>Stability</h1>
 +
<p>When an organism is genetically modified to create a product, it causes a decrease in growth rate. This means that a mutated - non- producing - organism will grow faster and take over the population. This problem is tackled by coupling fumarate production to growth. Given that evolution selects heavily on growth rate, we now have a way of naturally selecting for production rate [4]! Knocking out the fumarate degrading reaction in the TCA cycle causes fumarate to be produced in a growth coupled way.

Achievements

We are running out of oil and the climate is changing drastically due to the emission of greenhouse gases such as CO 2 .

But what if CO 2 were a resource, rather than a wasteful pollutant; and might even replace oil?

Early attempts to achieve this have focused on producing sugars with plants, which are then subsequently fermented by bacteria to produce liquid fuels and other chemicals.

But there is a better way, where no arable land is needed and which is faster and more efficient. This is the way our team has chosen to go, using cyanobacteria to take up CO 2 and directly convert it into the valuable chemical FUMARATE

PROJECT

Fumarate is used to make certain plastics, food additives, and medicine and is currently made from petroleum. The global market size of fumarate is estimated to exceed $760 million by 2020!

We are 6 students from Amsterdam with a passion for creating a more sustainable future.

We joined iGEM because we did not just wanted to ‘do science’ but we wanted to reach out to society, learn about communicating our research, and work on a shared vision in a small dynamic team.

Guided by our fantastic supervisors, and owing to the generosity of our sponsors, we have managed to successfully conclude this challenging and incredibly rewarding project.

We want to especially thank the Molecular Microbial Physiology group at the University of Amsterdam who have welcomed us in their lab for the past 7 months.
