Food Warden



How does it work?
This busy and exciting summer we managed to successfully couple fnr and sboA promoters with the reporter genes in a B. subtilis plasmid backbone designed by our team. Our bacteria - even when closed in a sticker - respond to rotten meat volatiles and produce a pigment output visible by naked eye. We have constructed the Food Warden!
More details can be found on our Data Page.
For our work, we have been distinguished with a gold medal, and the Regional Winner title at the European iGEM Jamboree! Moreover, our poster receiver the Best Poster award - click here to download it.

Stop the food waste!
Every year, 1.3 billion tons of food are thrown away worldwide (one third of total food production), partly due to the fact that best before dates are imprecise. A reliable way of monitoring whether food is spoiled or not could save money and reduce food waste.

The Food Warden
The Food Warden is a system which detects meat spoilage. It uses Bacillus subtilis cells.
Their natural genetic response to the gases of rotten meat has been identified and linked to a pigment production system. In this way, a consumer can easily see when the meat is spoiled: it's rotten and you know it!
