Our Project
Comparison Final Piece Modelling
For this season our team is working on expanding and perfecting our project. Our
goal is to create a biobrick and a working prototype that will detect levels of
xylene, which is linked directly to carcinogens found in petroleum products such
as benzene and its derivatives. Our biobrick will create different amounts of
fluorescent protein in the presence of xylene bound to xylR. The economy in our
rural community is based largely on agriculture and oil and gas industries. Oil
spills have detrimental effects on the environment, economy, and general health.
This year we will be testing out two different
indicators to allow
options concerning scale and intensity of colour change. In future years our
project will allow early identification of contamination will facilitate rapid
clean-up and minimize health risks to members of our community and to the
consumers who rely on the food we produce.
