| The 2008 Utah State University iGEM team is an excellent group of individuals. The professors and students have backgrounds in the fields of Biological Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Biology, and Microbiology. The high school students we have helping with this project are very bright guys. They know their way around the lab and have been infinitely helpful on this project. Although many of us are from different parts of the country and world we all love Utah State University and Logan Utah. |  |
 The Utah State University iGEM team project is focused on creating an efficient system for production and monitoring PHA production in microorganisms. One goal of our research is to develop and optimize a method, using fluorescent proteins, for the detection of maximum product yield of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB, a bioplastic) in recombinant E. coli and in Cupriavidus necator. In order to develop an optimal PHB detection system, we focused on the identification of the most efficient reporter genes, and the best promoter sequences that would allow our reporter to indicate when PHB production was maximized. | |
