Design of nutritious food based on “Funazushi”

ABSTRACT

Our team wants to make nutritious foods that can be stored for a long time to help people suffering from hunger.

Starvation is caused by the fact that not only calories but also nutrients such as protein are short. Therefore, we propose nutritious food that can be stored for a long time by fermentation mainly using fish which is a protein source which does not cost money to raise. We focused on the fermented food called Funazushi which rooted in the area where we live in. We will develop nutritious food by recombining yeast which was dominant species of Funazushi and making yeast produces nutrients lacking in the area. Because Funazushi is high salt concentration and low pH state during fermentation ,we will try to create yeast which make necessary nutrients for nation which is troubled by starvation while have resistance to high salt concentration and low pH.

We certainly achieved GOLD Medal Criteria!

Bronze Medal

1 Register for iGEM, have a great summer, and attend the Giant Jamboree. Yes, we are looking forward to taking part in the Giant Jamboree.
2 Meet all deliverables on the Competition Deliverables page (section 4). We meet all requirements.
3 Create a page on your team wiki with clear attribution of each aspect of your project. This page must clearly designate work done by the students and distinguish it from work done by others, including host labs, advisors, instructors, sponsors, professional website designers, artists, and commercial services. Please check Here.
4 Participate in the Interlab Measurement Study and/or improve the characterization of an existing BioBrick Part or Device and enter this information on that part's Main Page in the Registry. The part that you are characterizing must NOT be from a 2017 part number range. Please check Here.

Silver Medal

1 Convince the judges that at least one new BioBrick Part of your own design that is central to your project works as expected. Document the experimental characterization of this part on the Main Page of that Part’s Registry entry. Submit a sample of this new part to the iGEM Parts Registry (following Registry submission guidelines). This working part must be different from the part documented in gold #2. We created new BioBrick devices for silver medal criterion. Please look at [http://parts.igem.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K].
2 Convince the judges you have significantly worked with any other registered iGEM team in a meaningful way. For example, mentor a team, characterize a part, troubleshoot a project, model/simulate a system or validate a software/hardware solution to a synbio problem, or be the recipient of any of these activities. Please check here.
3 Convince the judges you have thought carefully and creatively about whether your work is safe, responsible and good for the world. You could accomplish this through engaging with your local, national and/or international communities or other approaches. Please note that standard surveys will not fulfill this criteria.. Please check here.

Gold Medal

1 Expand on your silver medal activity by demonstrating how you have integrated the investigated issues into the design and/or execution of your project. Please check here.
2 Improve the function of an existing BioBrick Part. The original part must NOT be from your 2017 part number range. If you change the original part sequence, you must submit a new part. In addition, both the new and original part pages must reference each other. Please check [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K here].
3 Convince the judges that your project's design and/or implementation is based on insight you have gained from modeling. Thoroughly document your model's contribution to your project on your team's wiki, including assumptions, relevant data, and model results. Please check here.
4 Convince the judges that your project works. Please check [https://2017.igem.org/Team:Nagahama/Demonstrate_your_wo
