With an eye to combat the environmental issues related to nitrogen oxides, we have designed circuits that can produce nitrogen oxides reductases and transcriptional regulators into our organisms so that harmful nitrogen oxides can be reduced to nitrogen. Combined with the sulfur metabolism pathway and Calvin cycle that are inherent in cyanobacteria, we provide an eco-friendly, multi-function solution to the air pollution problem.

This is a promising project with huge commercialized potential since the mass production of bioreactors full of our organisms is foreseeable. What is more interesting, with the help of division inhibitor, gene for invasion, we can install our designation into human cells as artificial organelles and grant human being the ability to survive in extreme environments such as Venus without wearing bulky space suits.

'''* Sulfide Metabolism'''

We all know that sulfide dioxides are one of the pollutants in urban area globally. In addition, sulfide compounds also exist on Venus. Therefore, we first think about how to reduce the sulfide dioxides in the atmosphere on earth; then we can move our project further on Venus.

Our plan is to develop a system which can reduce the SO2 into H2S using the genes in microorganisms like sulfate reducing bacteria, such as Desulfovibrio desulfuricans. After we acquire H2S, we may use bacteria such as Oscillatoria limnetica, Rhodobacter capsulatus, and Cyanobacteria PCC7002 which contain Sulfide-quinone reductase(SQR).By using SQR, we can then use H2S as the reducing energy and can get carbohydrates such as glucose, and can provide them as the energy for creatures to survive.

Every year, iGEMers create plenty of bioparts. They code for peptides, proteins or composite parts for all kinds of functions. However, they are just DNA sequences. But what if we create parts at the scale of organelles? With this approach, we can implant any cells into the host depending on what kinds of functions we hope to see in it. Comparing with transforming cells using merely simple DNA sequence, implanting new organelles can bring more complicated functions and more precise controlling systems. We can dream about making eukaryote to fix nitrogen, reduced sulfite, or even making animals to photosynthesize! Or we can create organisms that can live in other planets!

Our Ultimate Goal !

 

Due to rapid population growth, the environmental problems are worsened and even threatening to ruin our lovely Earth. Yet somehow, human being will be able to come up with the solution to such problem, just like the famous quote from Jurassic Park: “Life finds way”. In the 16th century, when every street in Europe is overfilled with people, a remarkable era called Great Navigations started, in which people migrated and colonized to the new world. And now, our project aims to do something familiar. We offer a novel approach to solve the environmental crisis. Our project can not only reduce pollutants but also adapt human being to the contaminated environment. That is, endue mankind with special ability by artificial endosymbiosis. The simple conceptual principle is, an unicellular cyanobacteria with novel sulfur and nitrogen metabolizing bio-bricks could automatically invade into human by a invasin system similar to Listeria. As the cell was equipped with engineered cyanobacteria, we not only reconstruct the primal processes of endosymbiosis but also pioneer a new way to engineer organisms. Eventually, a new human species will be created.

Welcome to our Campus
Founded in 1974, National Yang-Ming University, formerly known as National Yang-Ming College of Medicine, has been adhering to the school motto of "benevolent mind and art, putting knowledge into practice" while training excellent humane doctors to provide service by solving medical problems in remote and rural areas.
