Attributions

Visit our Team and Attributions page to find our roles in conducting this Auviola project. You can also find the role of supporting parties as our heroes in this competition.

Project Description

This page describes our background and approach to our project as well as how the idea came to us. Kindly visit our Description page.

This Auviola project engineers C. violaceum to have more cyanide-regulating genes, resulting in a better gold bioleaching process.

Contribution

In this page, we specified our parts and several potential contributions for the future iGEM teams. Kindly check our Contribution page.

This Auviola project engineers C. violaceum to have more cyanide-regulating genes, resulting in a better gold bioleaching process.

Engineering Success

We have passed through various stages in C. violaceum engineering, such as HCN production, HCN degradation, and arabinose converter system designing. Visit our Engineering page for the details.

Collaborations

The UGM Indonesia iGEM team collaborated with many other iGEM teams throughout the year. It includes collaboration with iGEM Moscow City, iGEM Korea HS, iGEM UI Indonesia, and iGEM UB Indonesia that became our guests in the UGM Synbio Online Festival 2021, Collaboration with iGEM Duesseldorf in postcard challenge, iGEM Manchester in Codeathon event. We have created a Collaborations page to outline these collaborations.

Human Practices

We constructed our human practice framework that consists of 4 steps, aimed to be able to collect as much information and consideration from many different points of view; community, stakeholders, environment, and scientific point of view. This way, we can get the bigger picture of what the community needs, the stakeholders want, and how science can close the gap. We also created an online webinar to raise awareness of synthetic biology and its potentials to the high school students, university students, and general public. Check out our Human Practices page to learn more.

Proposed Implementation

Implementing Auvola in the real world requires several considerations. To minimize any of the risks, our team plans to implement Auviola in a closed bioreactor. This enables us to have more control over the environment that the bacteria will live in, the growth, and also the proliferation of the bacteria. Considering operational costs, we also create an economic measurement model to ensure this method is profitable for Artisanal Small Scale Gold Mining. For further details please check our Proposed implementation page.

Integrated Human Practices

Consultation with community, stakeholders and experts allowed us to shape and modify our project based on the values of their needs. In our integrated human practices work, we integrate the important values we get from various consultations from silver HP work, prioritize the things and make decisions that affect our projects. By consulting with experts and stakeholders, we were able to identify the issues in the direction of our project. We have created an Integrated Human Practices page to explain more about the values ​​we cover in our HP and lab work.

Partnership

We have built a partnership with iGEM UBrawijaya Indonesia by exchanging parts and did some discussions about the research methods. Beside exchanging parts, this benefits both of the teams in terms of getting broader connection with the students and the professors, and creates a chance for future multidisciplinary collaboration. For further details please check our Partnership page.

Education and Communication

We have conducted various events to educate students and the community about synthetic biology. In collaboration with the provincial government's education department, our team conducts a Synthetic Biology Seminar for high school students in our province. To reach a wider audience, we held an online event entitled UGM Synbio Online Festival 2021. This event consisted of three sessions; i.e., (1) Webinar Introducing Synthetic Biology and iGEM Competition (2) Discussion, Brainstorming, and Hands-on of in silico Plasmid Design, (3) Mini Talkshow: Meet the iGEM Teams. We also conducted a pre and post-test as a way to evaluate whether our events have increased the audience's knowledge of synthetic biology and iGEM competition. Check out our Education and Communication page to learn more.

Excellent in another area

iGEM provides space to find a way out for problems that are still related to the project. Our team dedicates this project to Artisanal and small-scale gold mining. We realize that the solutions we offer will be meaningless if they do not get profit. To be more realistic, we should ensure that our solution is scalable and financially viable, so we create an economic measurement model to ensure this method is profitable for ASGM. Moreover, to make it easier for ASGM to get financial support and protect them from trade exploitation, we think the best implementation for our project is through cooperatives.
