<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.

The University of SheffieldOur University is one of the six original [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Brick Red Brick Universities], and is therefore one of the best in the country.
The University Union is one of the biggest in the country, and has just won the national award for Best Union 2nd year running! |
On a mission for luminescenceThe 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.

Anyone else think wiki's are hard?? :S |
