April 2 Monday

We decided on how the smell removing system will work.

Ideas

1)A system consisting of 2 bacterias with 1 producing bad smell and the other producing good smell. 1 of these will give put bad smell and the other will get rid of this smell and turn into something good and also inhibate the other one.

2)A system in which a bacteria removes bad smell and uses the products to produce good smell. The bacteria will use receptors to detect the products of the removal process and use them to give out good smell.
