Summarized in the tables below are all the parts designed by our team, for our project. We created a part collection that regulates the ion transport between membranes and the environment of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. It also enables the separation of the bacteria from the desalinated water. Furthermore, we improved an existing BioBrick (BBa_K1073022) by exchanging its RBS region and adding a G-10 leader. Additionally, the page has a summary of primers and vectors used in our project. All the parts were ordered as cloned products in pUCIDT-Amp from IDT. However, their attempts of synthesizing the product were unsuccessful, leading to the new strategy to order the parts as linear DNA fragments from TwistBioscience. Consequently, the linear DNA fragments were attempted to be cloned into pUC19 plasmids by ourselves. We have documented our planned and executed experiments with these parts in detail on our design and engineeringpages. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, we were not able to obtain results on several of our parts. Nevertheless, on the improvement page, you can see what results we acquired from our improved part.
