The Caltech 2012 iGEM <a href="https://2012.igem.org/Team:Caltech/Team">team's</a> project focused on manipulating bacteria to <a href="https://2012.igem.org/Team:Caltech/Project#Degradation_Project">degrade</a> stable organic polymers such as lignin and alginate; using these substrates to synthesize biofuels, specifically ethanol; and directing their ATP synthesis mechanism to rely on <a href="https://2012.igem.org/Team:Caltech/Project#Proteorhodopsin_Project">proteorhodopsin</a> as the source of the proton gradient, freeing NADH to interact in the synthetic pathway.  Caltech also collaborated with California Institute of the Arts to create an animation using a plate of E. coli transformed with mCherry plasmid.  To learn more about our collaboration, view our <a href="https://2012.igem.org/Team:Caltech/Human_Practice">Human Practice</a> page.

The following is plagiarized from someone: [[Team:Caltech/Project/General_information#iGEM|iGEM]] (international Genetically Engineered Machines Competition) is a competition organized by MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in Boston, USA, since 2005 and has become one of the largest international competitions in the field of science. This year 84 teams of undergraduate students compete against each other, and for the first time three teams from Germany join the competition. The project of the Heidelberg team is directed by Prof. Dr. Roland Eils from University of Heidelberg and the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ).

[[Team:Caltech/Project/General_information#Synthetic Biology|Synthetic Biology]] is a young field in science, which combines classic gene technology with an engineering approach. Similar to the construction of an airplane, Synthetic Biology uses simple gene building blocks for the construction of new complex systems with distinct functions. These gene building blocks are collected in a database by iGEM and can be used by all participants of the competition. So far, the collection contains more than 1000 gene building blocks, due to the continuous development of new parts over the last years. This summer all teams work on self-developed projects which will then be presented in the beginning of November at the “Jamboree” in Boston. Several prizes in different categories will be awarded.

Biofuels and Bacterial Animations

The Caltech 2012 iGEM team's project focused on manipulating bacteria to degrade stable organic polymers such as lignin and alginate; using these substrates to synthesize biofuels, specifically ethanol; and directing their ATP synthesis mechanism to rely on proteorhodopsin as the source of the proton gradient, freeing NADH to interact in the synthetic pathway. Caltech also collaborated with California Institute of the Arts to create an animation using a plate of E. coli transformed with mCherry plasmid. To learn more about our collaboration, view our Human Practice page.
