Introduction
The 2019 RHIT iGEM team focuses on developing a heavy metal biosorption system for heavy metal remediation by implementing the metallothionein gene into the BL21 (DE3) E.cloi bacteria.
Figure 1 depicts the iGEM team’s overall experimental design. Arsenite ions are introduced at a known concentration to a known concentration of cells. Cells and arsenite interact for a specified amount of time, then extracted to measure arsenite uptake and neutralization.
Figure 2 examines a single cell, to show the intracellular interactions of arsenic with both the ArsR operon and arsenic specific metallothionein.
