<p>The aim of this year’s project is to engineer a biological machine which can sense cholera contamination in water, and rapidly test if water is potable. Technically, to achieve this easy way of testing water contamination the team is planning to apply quorum sensing. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quorum_sensing Quorum sensing] bacteria have the ability to both secrete signaling molecules and receive them. When signaling molecule is present in the environment it binds to the receptor and activates a particular action within the organism. [https://2008.igem.org/Team:University_of_Sheffield_/Project More]. </p>

On a mission for luminescence

E.coli transformed with GFP plasmid. How exciting!

Glowing E.coli

The aim of this year’s project is to engineer a biological machine which can sense cholera contamination in water, and rapidly test if water is potable. Technically, to achieve this easy way of testing water contamination the team is planning to apply quorum sensing. Quorum sensing bacteria have the ability to both secrete signaling molecules and receive them. When signaling molecule is present in the environment it binds to the receptor and activates a particular action within the organism. More.

The University of Sheffield

How lovely

Firth Court, Home of Molecular Biology

Our University is one of the six original Red Brick Universities, and is therefore one of the best in the country.

Its Molecular Biology and Biotechnology department is No.1 in the University, with the Engineering Department not far behind. Its from these departments our team members are proud to originate.

The University of Sheffield put its emphasis in the scientific departments on research-led teaching, including a £30m refurb on Firth Court (pictured)

Just the front!

The Union entrance


The University Union is one of the biggest in the country, and has just won the national award for Best Union 2nd year running!
