− | + | Future work could be done to complete and assemble the reductases necessary to reduce nitrate to nitrogen gas. Similar work has been done by the BYU Provo 2014 iGEM team as well as the 2013 DTU-Denmark team. By combining these efforts with our own, an ecologically friendly organism could be created to completely remove excess nitrate from waterways.</font> | |

Project Design
Nitrate Reductase (napDABC)
A coding sequence for the synthetic operon that encodes for four of the proteins that make up the Periplasmic Nitrate Reductase. The operon was assembled from pieces that were PCRed from E. coli and other sequences were synthesized by IDT in order to remove illegal restriction enzyme sites. Due to time constraints complete characterization couldn’t be accomplished.
