A Bottle Of Algae "Wine"
Producing ethanol from algae
This year OUC-iGEM focuses on the efficient use of cellulose. We are concerned about the utili-zation of Enteromorpha as a hot local issue. Every year a large quantity of Enteromorpha are sal-vaged ashore. The utilization, however, remainds still in the initial stage . Compared to the traditional strategy of using terrestrial plant cellulose, the ingredient of lignin in large seaweed is rather low, which can lead to a better degradation.So it will be a great idea to produce new energy from Enteromorpha.
Our project can be devided into 3 parts:
Adhesion platform
E. coli and yeast is to adhere to each other and form a multi-cell unit, expanding the biological function of engineered cells.
Fermentation
We aim to make use of cellobiose and xylose produced from algae residue and turn them into ethanol---our Enteromorpha wine! Resveratrol is added to our wine to make it better for health.
Mini-GRE
We synthesize mini promoters in yeast, which have very concise sequences. In this way, we look forward to making our own contribution to the standardization of yeast!
