Team:Korea U Seoul/Notebook/Apr

      Fire alarm using bacteria : Making bacteria detecting CO, H2S, other toxic gases and compounds formed during incomplete combustion. After the detecting, noticeable change occurs (e.g. color change)

     Make bacteria responds to electric field to make a display system

      Empty cell : Making bacterial factory by modifying bacteria to maintain only cellular structures related to production of certain material we want.

     Walking bacteria : Literally, bacteria that show walking mechanism.

     Salt eating bacteria : Using bacteria in desalination process

     Bacterial feed : Modifying bacteria to produce materials that facilitating growth and mix them with feed.

     Beeping bacteria : Making communication system of bacteria visible to human eyes.

     Improved photosynthesis in bacteria : By using obg gene exists in ribosome, enhances bacterial photosynthesis.

     Diagnosis of diseases using bacteria : By expressing lectin proteins on the surface of bacteria that specifically recognize certain oligosaccharides, find out mutant cells

     Cyclopropane fatty acids : Producing alkanes by using Brucella abortus

     Fat degrading bacteria : Literally, modifying bacteria to degrade fat for a diet

     Perfume production using bacteria

     Making shaving cream with bacteria : Modifies bacteria to degrade beard.

     Jean washing : Modifying bacteria to degrade fiber of jean or indigo dye to wash jean.

     Heating bacteria : Using bacteria to get warm. Can be used to make boiler.

     Using bacteria to change a circadian rhythm : Clone the gene related to circadian rhythm and use it to overcome jet lag.

     Silk production using bacteria : Adopt insect-oriented gene related to silk production to bacteria

     Cellulose degrading bacteria : Literally, by using cellulase gene, make bacteria to degrade cellulose.

     Web design team (Wiki team) - Coding wiki pages and making video clips and flash movie: Sanghoon Han, Byeongnam Min, Kyengwoo Jang

     Design team - Dealing with Adobe photoshop, Illustrator to design most things except video clips and flash movie. Making poster and presentation files for the jamboree: Haerim song, Jeongmin Lee, Kyengwoo Jang, Byeongnam Min, Jihoon Jeong, Kyungjin Kim

     Human practice team - Dealing with human practice activities such as introducing synthetic biology, contact with other teams for collaboration, think of future application, and extra: Sanghoon Han, Kyengwoo Jang, Jihoon Jeong, Jihyong Nam

     Fundraising team - Literally, fundraising. Contact with local community, bio-tech companies and etc for fundraising: Dohoon Kwon, Wonuk Lee

     Since it's the beginning, think of rough idea, not the specific model or design including principles of how idea works out. (e.g. drawing pictures with bacteria, bacteria extracting rare earth resources)

     Refer to iGEM website. There are some projects suggested by sponsors.

     Facebook page, Twitter, Naver cafe (Korean page. http://cafe.naver.com/2012igem)

     Regular meeting on every Monday, p.m. 8:00, lecture room 335 Life Science Division West building (except Midterm and Final exam period)
