Team

La première équipe de l'Université de Washington iGEM est composé de neuf études juniors et seniors majeure en biologie, biologie moléculaire et de biochimie, génie biomédical et de génie chimique. Sous la direction de M. Blankenship (départements de biologie et de chimie), notre équipe de synthèse, plans de réguler l'expression de la photosynthèse des machines, qui, selon nous, est une première pour les deux iGEM et la biologie synthétique. Pour en savoir plus sur notre très motivés et bien formés équipe, s'il vous plaît, cliquez ici.

Project

Our goal for this project is to increase photosynthetic efficiency in the purple bacterium Rhodobacter Sphaeroides by altering the regulation of the light harvesting antenna LH2. This antenna complex surrounds and harvests photons for the reaction center, where light energy is converted to chemical energy. We plan to utilize a synthetic light sensing system that will result in an output of a low number of LH2 complexes at high light intensities and a greater number of LH2 complexes at low light intensities. This project is intended to serve as a proof in principle that light harvesting antenna sizes may be synthetically and dynamically tailored to incidental light intensity in order to increase photosynthetic efficiency in a bioreactor.
