Background

Goal and Circuit Operation

  • Enhance and regulate the phosphate absorption of E.coli to balance phosphate concentration to a normal level in patients with kidney failure
  • This device operates when:
    • external pH is high and
    • external phosphate level is high
  • That is, this device will stop when:
    • external pH is low or
    • external phosphate level is low

Circuit Design

NYMU iGEM08 phosphate removal device v 1.0

  • over-expression of pst operon can enhance the total phosphate absorption by improving the cellular phosphate import
  • over-expression of ppK gene can enhance the total phosphate absorption by improving the cellular phosphate storage
