We breathe 10,000 to 20,000 liters of air a day. The olfactory system comes in contact with a different variety and concentration of odors. Certain chemicals that produce odor are potentially harmful and can cause health problems like the Trimethylaminuria. Also called the fish odor syndrome, Trimethylaminuria causes an unpleasent odor which needs to be masked with deodorants and perfumes. Even this is not a solution. Something needs to be done and we aim to do something about it: By transferring the required system to E.coli. On top of that, we will make the bacteria use the products of the removal process to produce fresh perfumes. Thus we can both get rid of a disturbing odor and fill a room with perfume just by using bacteria. This would change the belief of bacteria which are blamed for the disgusting smell in the enviroment.

FreshEcoli

Trimethylaminuria is a health disorder caused by the lack of the enzyme FMO-3. This disease ruins the social lives of people born with it. It causes the excretion of a disgusting fish odor. With our genetically modified E.coli, we would like to pursue the solution of this problem. By implementing the necessary system, we will offer a synthetic solution.

Our system is based on the removal of the disturbing odor caused by this disease. Also, the usage of the products of this process to make the bacteria release geraniol (which is the chemical that provides the rose its aroma) is also something else that we wish to do.

With FreshEcoli project, we will get rid of bad odor and make a bacteria produce a nice fragrance. This will allow us to benefit from the good smell released, and also, remove the belief that bacteria smell unpleasant.
