CGU_Taiwan
We first met the CGU_Taiwan team at the end of our presentation for the Asia Pacific iGEM Conference hosted in National Chiao Tung University (NCTU). They were excited that our biofilms were able to trap nanoparticles and inquired whether they trapped ink particles similarly well. We offered to test this for CGU_Taiwan. Furthermore, CGU_Taiwan independently verified that overexpression of OmpR234 (BBa_K2229200) produces more biofilms than control (BBa_K342003).
In return, we tested if our biofilms is capable of trapping ink particles. We used the similar experimental procedure as our preliminary biofilm trapping experiment. The results suggested biofilms trapped ink particles. As shown in figure__, the relative absorbance of ink decreased by approximately 50%.
