Every year, 1,300,000,000 tons of food are thrown away worldwide. This is one third of the global food production. One of the reasons for this is the fact that best before dates are imprecise. A reliable way of monitoring whether food is spoiled or not could save up to 600 euro per household per year.<br>

This busy and exciting summer we managed to successfully couple fnr and sboA promoters with the reporter genes in a <i>B. subtilis</i> plasmid backbone designed by our team. Our bacteria - even when closed in a sticker - respond to rotten meat volatiles and produce a pigment output visible by naked eye. We have constructed the Food Warden! But there is more...<br>

Food Warden



The Food Warden
The Food Warden is a system which detects meat spoilage. It uses Bacillus subtilis 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: it's rotten and you know it!

How does it work?
Volatiles from rotten meat activate the PsboA promoter, triggering the production of pigments (blue or yellow).
More details can be found on our Data Page.

Stop the food waste!
Every year, 1.3 billion tons of food are thrown away worldwide (one third of total food production), partly due to the fact that best before dates are imprecise. A reliable way of monitoring whether food is spoiled or not could save money and reduce food waste.

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
