The Food Warden is a system which detects meat spoilage. It uses <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> cells. Their natural genetic response to the gases of rotten meat has been identified and linked to a pigment production system. In this way, a consumer can easily see when the meat is spoiled: <b><i>it's rotten and you know it!</i></b><br> | The Food Warden is a system which detects meat spoilage.

Our Biobricks
SILVER (in addition to bronze medal requirements)
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
We helped iGEM LMU Munich by characterizing their parts
We explored the topic of safety for GMOs that would be used near food
We raised public awareness about food waste in developed countries
We surveyed the broad public about the need for Food Warden product and GMOs safety
