The Toluene TerminatorOverview
The Toluene Terminator is a device that aims to identify the toxic compound toluene in an environmental setting (e.g. a spill into soil from an underground petrol tank), move to and uptake it, metabolize it, and destroy itself when all of the toluene has been metabolized. This device will require four basic modules: toluene chemorecognition, chemotaxis, toluene metabolism, and a suicide mechanism. This year we have been working on toluene metabolism and the suicide mechanism. Toluene MetabolismSuicide Mechanism
