Progress
Both projects, regulation bacteria and the blue lagoon, were presented for the tutors followed by a discussion on the viability of both projects. Afterwards it was decided to proceed with the regulation bacteria. The aim for the presentation of the blue lagoon was to answer the questions raised in the presentation yesterday. The aim of the regulaton bacteria was to find factor X and fix the system error.
For the regulation bacteria, X was set to be an odor after some brainstorming. The regulation bacteria can then be compared to commercial products that emit a 'constant' odor. We found several odor-blocks in the registry and in the discussion we were notified of the possibility to introduce alternative biobricks for odor, which apparently was not that difficult.
Presentation Regulation bacteria
Remarks
It was decided that we will work on the bacterium that regulates a smell intensity based on light intensity.
