<b>4/3/12</b> - Research enzymes to put in our bacteria to prepare ordering parts. Research carbonic anhydrase that may naturally buffer the system. Research the differences between the promoters to find which one will work best for our bacteria. Decide whether to use a proton pump, store calcium carbonate, produce calcium carbonate from resources in its environment, find the genes already in bacteria that alter the pH of its environment. Research nucleation for building up calcium carbonate from manufactured SRB in environment. | <b>4/3/12</b> - Research enzymes to put in our bacteria to prepare ordering parts.

Show us how you spent your days.
Fall 2011 - Learning the basics of the relevant biology
Winter 2012 - Brainstorming possible topics for our project.
3/6/12 - We settled on further investigating the use of a biological medicine to relieve the symptoms of Gastric Reflux Disease. The internet has been our primary method of research. We have found an available pH sensor and researched the current market of GERD medicines. We are currently looking for our desired method of neutralizing the stomach acid.
3/13/12 - We are looking at another iGEM project which featured a bacteria that secretes a base.
3/20/12 - We are continuing research and focusing on updating the wiki for now.
3/27/12 - We found several promoters that are capable of secreting calcium carbonate into the body.
4/3/12 - Research enzymes to put in our bacteria to prepare ordering parts. Research carbonic anhydrase that may naturally buffer the system. Research the differences between the promoters to find which one will work best for our bacteria. Decide whether to use a proton pump, store calcium carbonate, produce calcium carbonate from resources in its environment, find the genes already in bacteria that alter the pH of its environment. Research nucleation for building up calcium carbonate from manufactured SRB in environment.
4/10/12 - Modified our experiment to lower the pH environment. This would be used to facilitate tomato plant growth or other citrus plants. To lower the pH, we will use a proton pump from bacteriorhodopsin that uses light energy received from photons.
