Brief Introduction
Considering superb conversion efficiency, environmental friendliness, and high energy capacity of hydrogen(H2), H2 has become a promising substitute for fossil fuels. Currently, H2 production is mainly rely on steam reformation which derive from hydrocarbons, coal gasification, and nuclear-powered water electrolysis. What has mentioned above, however, is not environmentally-friendly or unsustainable enough. When it comes to the biological method of H2 production, the original resources, sunlight energy, is inexhaustible and renewable.
Another material that we take consideration into is the capsid from the bacteriophage P22. The P22 capsid is a particularly powerful platform that encapsulate of various products such as enzymes. It can create discrete spaces to localize certain chemical processes such as biohydrogen production by hydrogenase.
We focus our attention on Chlorella, a green algae, which can photolyze water to produce H2 using hydrogenase under anaerobic condition. However, this process only occurs within a transient time, last for a few minutes during dark–light transition. Owing to the fact that the certain hydrogenase would lose its function when exposed to oxygen, cellular creates anaerobic conditions via respiration in darkness that can activate hydrogenase.
Welcome to iGEM 2016!
Your team has been approved and you are ready to start the iGEM season!
Before you start:
Please read the following pages:
Styling your wiki
You may style this page as you like or you can simply leave the style as it is. You can easily keep the styling and edit the content of these default wiki pages with your project information and completely fulfill the requirement to document your project.
While you may not win Best Wiki with this styling, your team is still eligible for all other awards. This default wiki meets the requirements, it improves navigability and ease of use for visitors, and you should not feel it is necessary to style beyond what has been provided.
Wiki template information
We have created these wiki template pages to help you get started and to help you think about how your team will be evaluated. You can find a list of all the pages tied to awards here at the Pages for awards link. You must edit these pages to be evaluated for medals and awards, but ultimately the design, layout, style and all other elements of your team wiki is up to you!
Editing your wiki
On this page you can document your project, introduce your team members, document your progress and share your iGEM experience with the rest of the world!
Tips
This wiki will be your team’s first interaction with the rest of the world, so here are a few tips to help you get started:
- State your accomplishments! Tell people what you have achieved from the start.
- Be clear about what you are doing and how you plan to do this.
- You have a global audience! Consider the different backgrounds that your users come from.
- Make sure information is easy to find; nothing should be more than 3 clicks away.
- Avoid using very small fonts and low contrast colors; information should be easy to read.
- Start documenting your project as early as possible; don’t leave anything to the last minute before the Wiki Freeze. For a complete list of deadlines visit the iGEM 2016 calendar
- Have lots of fun!
Inspiration
You can also view other team wikis for inspiration! Here are some examples:
Uploading pictures and files
You can upload your pictures and files to the iGEM 2016 server. Remember to keep all your pictures and files within your team's namespace or at least include your team's name in the file name.
When you upload, set the "Destination Filename" to Team:YourOfficialTeamName/NameOfFile.jpg. (If you don't do this, someone else might upload a different file with the same "Destination Filename", and your file would be erased!)
