This is a template page. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
You are provided with this team page template with which to start the iGEM season. You may choose to personalize it to fit your team but keep the same "look." Or you may choose to take your team wiki to a different level and design your own wiki. You can find some examples HERE.
You MUST have the following information on your wiki:
  • a team description
  • project description
  • safety information (did your team take a safety training course? were you supervised in the lab?)
  • team attribution (who did what part of your project?)
You may also wish to add other page such as:
  • lab notebook
  • sponsor information
  • other information
REMEMBER765765767, keep all of your pages within your teams namespace.
Example: 2012hs.igem.org/Team:CIDEB-UANL_Mexico/Our_Pets



You can write a background of your team here. Give us a background of your team, the members, etc. Or tell us more about something of your choosing.

Project Description

The detection of various components in a safe and rapid way has been a challenge in modern science. Biosensors using genetic circuits in bacteria have been made, which allow knowing whether the sensed component is present or not. Nowadays it is known that certain levels of heavy metals on water can be dangerous for living organisms. For that reason it is important to know the concentration of these metals, but the techniques for detection and quantification are complex and requiere expensive equipments.

The aim of this project is to make a study model for quantifying heavy metals with fluorescent colors depending on their levels of concentration. In order to do so, a biosensor based on three different fluorescent reporters will be built. Additionally, this design could be improved in order to achieve higher sensitivity by adding more modules to the circuit.

This genetic circuit could be applied for building biosensors to detect the presence of heavy metals and semi-quantify them. This design will recognize the component that it is meant to be analyzed and give an approximation of the quantity. According to that, it can be useful to know if the concentration is toxic for living organisms.
