Project Outline
Our goal is to produce an E. coli strain that can specifically hunt for the heavy metal cadmium by using a manipulated chemotaxis system in order to both detect and accumulate it. In this way, we can not only detect environmentally harmful cadmium contamination quickly and on a mass scale, but also purify polluted waters. Furthermore, the recovered cadmium can be recycled and purified for industrial usage.
