Language:  English,  Deutsch Welcome to iGEM Göttingen
In November 2011, most of us heard about iGEM competition for the first time.
Erik, inspired by his former colleagues´ enthusiastic reports, was looking for like-minded people at his new university that
were willing to organize a whole project in the field of Synthetic Biology. He described the idea of the contest to anybody willing to listen. It did not take
long to find five other interested students. Thus, the so called organization task force of the first iGEM Team of the University of Göttingen was formed.
Homing Coli
Escherichia coli is a commonly used bacterial model organism. It has lots of beneficial
traits, e.g. a short generation time and it can be easily manipulated. Most E. coli
strains that are used in laboratories do not exhibit high motility. The crucial element for
motility is the flagellum, which is rotated by a molecular motor within the cell wall.
Consequently, these are reduced in cultivated E. coli strains. Synthetic Biology
Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary scientific area that has recently developed.
It links various fields of science like biology, chemistry, physics, molecular genetics,
informatics and engineering. ↑ Return to top
