Overview

The Nitrogen Cycle is a biogeochemical cycle which has become extremely unabalanced. High nitrate levels in waterways cause drastic effects on the marine life and surrounding environment. To combat this, we set out to engineer an organism capable of reducing these nitrate ions. Through our experiments and outreach, we explored the world of synthetic biology, and expanded the scope of our project. Safety of our system became a pivotal concern and consequently, led to the incorporation of a nitrate-sensitive kill switch as well as developing safety assurance cases to gain confidence in the safety of our engineered microorganism.
