On a mission for luminescence

E.coli transformed with GFP plasmid. How exciting!

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.
