This project aims to optimise the ice-nucleating ability of ''P. syringae'' at elevated temperatures with the goal to induce precipitation. So, can bacteria help drought, by bringing on rain? Well, we're trying to find out! | This project aims to optimise the ice-nucleating ability of ''P. syringae'' at elevated temperatures with the goal to induce precipitation.

This project aims to modify the mercury uptake, reduction and efflux system in ''E. coli'' to reduce mercury contamination in water supplies. If this project is successful, it is likely that a similar approach would be effective in mitigating other types of heavy metal contamination. | This project aims to modify the mercury uptake, reduction and efflux system in ''E. coli'' to reduce mercury contamination in water supplies.

UQ-Australia IGEM Team 2009Hello from UQ-Australia!The UQ-Australia team consists of 9 undergraduate students, aided by 4 supervisors. 2009 is our first year of involvement in iGEM. UQ-Australia aims to tackle two important environmental issues specific to Australia.
Check out our Project Section and Lab Notebook for more details on both projects. The Our Lab section has some photos of our very own iGEM lab. This lab has been set up with the assistance of our generous sponsors. Thank you!
