Abstract
Greenhouse Effect and the limitation of the fossil fuels have always been a concern to people on Earth. So our team, NCTU_Formosa, hopes to produce isobutanol as a biofuel by bacteria. This concept will be achieved by E.coli containing plasmids with a lactose promoter, 5 RBSs, 4 zinc fingers, and 4 proteinic genes. With the temperature regulating system, we successfully prevent toxic intermediate interfering isobutanol production. This biofuel factory can provide more affordable and higher quantity biofuel, furthermore lower the burden of our Earth.

This week , we engaged in assemble our main parts together and incubated bacteria to test the isobutanol productivity. For us, team work is always the most important element. So, to finish our wiki, each of our teammates are taking charge of different parts of wiki edition. And we took turn to collect tubes for 24 hours in the isobutanol tolerance test. Except for working in wet lab, we also enjoyed ourselves in taking group photos and new films. Last but not least, on 9/17 we had invited a reporter to write a special column for Igem & synthesis biology.

For the experiment, there are new works in for everyone. We have to measure the O.D. on 42 degree and 30 degree, test all the different system we have. The most important is that we should find the G3 part which was made last year, insert into our recent part, and measure the yield. For the wiki, all the deadline of very page sould complete by 9/24. Last, we set up a new group for devising the poster.
