iGEM is a international competition hosted by the MIT in Boston, USA, for undergraduate students
 +
of disciplines related to molecular biology. iGEM stands for International Genetically Engineered
 +
Machine competition. One the one hand, it targets to combine aspects of education and social
 +
collaboration among undergraduate students, on the other hand, it provides a library for
 +
standardized and interchangeable parts which can be used in living systems, particularly
 +
in model organisms like E. coli. Student groups from all over the world will receive a

requested kit of biological parts, also called "biobricks", and work over the summer on
 +
an individual research project. Every year, the "Registry of Standard Biological Parts"
 +
is upgraded with further biobricks by the participating iGEM teams. These biobricks will

be accessible to the iGEM community in the following years in order to use these parts for

their own projects.  <br>

<br>

The iGEM competition started in 2003 as a course for students of the MIT only. 2011,
 +
already 165 universities from all over the world competed against each other. This year,
 +
it is the first participation of University of Goettingen, Germany. The iGEM competition
 +
is a great opportunity for students to gain and improve a multitude of skills that are
 +
necessary during a carrier as a molecular biologist. Such skills would be planning and
 +
organizing a project, including fund raising and team recruitment, coordination of lab
 +
work, designing experiments and working together as a team. Next to intensive lab work
 +
during the summer, also literature search and well-structured documentation of the

experiments is crucial.<br>

The commonly used bacterial model organism ''Escherichia coli'' possesses lots of beneficial traits like, for example a short generation time or easily accessible genetic manipulation tools. Most ''E. coli'' strains used in laboratories do not exhibit high motility. This is due to a reduction of the bacterial flagellum, which is the crucial element for a motile cell. Our project aims to engineer the bacterium to generate a genetically modified strain that is able to move at a higher velocity. Using directed mutagenesis techniques of motile ''E. coli'' strains their swarming ability should be enhanced.
+
<br>
-
The ''flhDC'' operon codes for the master regulator FlhD4C2. This protein complex acts as a transcription factor regulating flagellum biosynthesis and assembly. The increased expression of the master regulator via the introduction of the operon into our ''E. coli'' strain leads to the production of additional flagella and thus to hypermotility compared to usual laboratory strains.
+
<h2><b>Homing Coli</b></h2>
-
To investigate the mobility special “swimming plates” were developed and optimized. These plates contain only a small amount of agar to allow observable movement of the bacterial cells. Furthermore, a second assay introducing a nutrition gradient should trigger a directed movement towards a particular substance. This behavior is called chemotaxis. With these plates in hand, we are able to design an effective motility-selection method.
+
<p align="justify" style="line-height:1.6em">
-
The recognition of these substances is accomplished by chemoreceptors. We work with the receptor TAR that specifically recognizes aspartate. The ligand-binding domain of each subunit consists of two short and two long α-helices to form a four-helix bundle. We aim to change the binding specificity of the ligand-binding pocket by using directed mutagenesis techniques. The establishment of a mutation library will hopefully result in the recognition of novel substances.
+
-
In a global perspective, we want to couple substrate sensing (chemotaxis) with motility. Our engineered bacteria could then sense molecules like pollutants or medically relevant substances, like for example cancer markers and move directed and fast towards these.By this means, the targeted substance cannot only be detected but eventually also rendered harmless.

<i>Escherichia coli</i> is a commonly used bacterial model organism. It has lots of beneficial
 +
traits like a short generation time and it can be easily manipulated. Most <i>E. coli</i>
 +
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 <i>E. coli</i> strains.<br>
 +
<br>
 +
Our goal is to create an <i>E. coli</i> strain with increased swarming motility on special
 +
agar plates. Therefore, we will perform directed mutagenesis techniques of motile <i>E. coli</i>
 +
and enhance their swarming ability. The fastest <i>E. coli</i> strains will be selected and

further improved. At the same time we will then be able to create an effective motility-selection

  method.        <br>
 +
<br>
 +
Now, you are probably wondering what the advantage of a fast<i> E. coli</i> might be. The
 +
beneficial fast phenotype can be combined with the ability of this bacterium to sense

specific compounds in their environments. Chemo-receptors enable it to move towards
 +
or along gradients of such substances. The combination of speed and chemotaxis allows
 +
us to identify <i>E. coli</i> strains, which can find interesting compounds. Thereby, an
 +
easy method for the detection of pollutants, toxins or even tumors could be provided.<br><br>

Welcome to iGEM Göttingen

iGEM is a international competition hosted by the MIT in Boston, USA, for undergraduate students of disciplines related to molecular biology. iGEM stands for International Genetically Engineered Machine competition. One the one hand, it targets to combine aspects of education and social collaboration among undergraduate students, on the other hand, it provides a library for standardized and interchangeable parts which can be used in living systems, particularly in model organisms like E. coli. Student groups from all over the world will receive a requested kit of biological parts, also called "biobricks", and work over the summer on an individual research project. Every year, the "Registry of Standard Biological Parts" is upgraded with further biobricks by the participating iGEM teams. These biobricks will be accessible to the iGEM community in the following years in order to use these parts for their own projects.

The iGEM competition started in 2003 as a course for students of the MIT only. 2011, already 165 universities from all over the world competed against each other. This year, it is the first participation of University of Goettingen, Germany. The iGEM competition is a great opportunity for students to gain and improve a multitude of skills that are necessary during a carrier as a molecular biologist. Such skills would be planning and organizing a project, including fund raising and team recruitment, coordination of lab work, designing experiments and working together as a team. Next to intensive lab work during the summer, also literature search and well-structured documentation of the experiments is crucial.


Homing Coli

Escherichia coli is a commonly used bacterial model organism. It has lots of beneficial traits like 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.

Our goal is to create an E. coli strain with increased swarming motility on special agar plates. Therefore, we will perform directed mutagenesis techniques of motile E. coli and enhance their swarming ability. The fastest E. coli strains will be selected and further improved. At the same time we will then be able to create an effective motility-selection method.

Chemo-receptors enable it to move towards or along gradients of such substances. The combination of speed and chemotaxis allows us to identify E. coli strains, which can find interesting compounds. Thereby, an easy method for the detection of pollutants, toxins or even tumors could be provided.


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.

Due to this combination the relation of biological design and function can be investigated from an entirely new perspective. The previous approach was limited to the examination of a structure and its function and the attempt to explain how they correlate. Recently, the reverse strategy is applied. Biological parts are specifically designed and constructed according to a desired function. These parts are characterized by a standardized modular design that facilitates their handling. The subsequent introduction of the synthetic constructs to living cells can either cause the replacement of original cellular components or result in additional elements that act cooperatively or more or less autonomously.

Another very important and necessary feature of biological parts is orthogonality, which means in this context that independent devices can be combined unrestrictedly. This principle derives from the area of engineering and aims to alter subsystems, without impeding others.

This way cells can be modified as requested, resulting in a predictable behaviour. Among others, this technique can be beneficial for the effective production of certain substances, like biofuels or antibiotics.
