Abstract: Many people die every year due to carbon monoxide poisoning, since it is found in various sources such as fires, factories, and houses with heating systems. Currently there are only electrochemical sensors that perceive the presence of this gas, however, we propose a biological detector that is easy to use, this device has sensors based on promoters that detect levels of CO, which is a characteristic of the protobacteria R.rubrum, which makes use of carbon monoxide as its main source of energy. Through synthetic biology is possible to transfer these characteristics to other organisms such as E. coli, which in nature has no connection and the transfer of its genetic information is incompatible with this, allowing for innovative advances in scientific applications such as the creation of a biological CO detector to later incorporate this system into an accessory.

Our history

We are a group of five students of 2nd Senior Year from Saint Rose School, passionate about synthetic biology.
In mid 2015 we were part of a scientific workshop of our school, which was directed by the teacher Luis Contreras and its purpose was to promote science .In the beginning we were eight students, but time went by and we were five. Lately, our group had the chance to be part of the “Academia de Emprendimiento Científico” of Universidad Mayor De Chile, where we learnt about synthetic biology and entrepreneurship. This was crucial, because it has helped us in all the aspects of our project, from devise, design, and work in the lab with the  plasmids selected to convert The CO Tracker in something ideal for a public who may need it.

Method

We are developing our project using knowledge in molecular biology, genetic engineering and laboratory protocols. We will describe the procedures followed by the team:
