Project Description
To help engineer solutions for the world’s energy needs, the Wisconsin iGEM Team has decided to pursue a Biofuel focus for this years project. Our primary focus is to engineer bacteria to produce non-ethanol products that are compatible with current infrastructure. Large-scale fermentation of our engineered organisms will supplement current fuel supplies and detract from the need to burn fossil fuels.
We are also pursuing a series of mini-projects that will augment the success of our main Biofuels project. The goal of a few of these projects is to impart greater salt tolerance to our fuel-producing organisms. Another goal will help limit future iGEM Team expenses by adding critical BioBricks to the iGEM registry.
