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!<br>More details can be found on our <a href=https://2012.igem.org/Team:Groningen/Data_page><font color=#ff6700><b>Data Page</b></font></a>.<br> | 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.

A reliable way of monitoring whether food is spoiled or not could save money and reduce food waste.<br> |

Proof that our BioBrick works!
Characterization of our BioBrick's operation: BBa_K818600
GOLD (in addition to silver and bronze medal requirements, any one or more of the following)
We improved the function of existing BioBricks: BBa_K592010, BBa_K592009
