Bioengineer a Custom Bacteria: Gas Station Clean-Up Design Opportunity: Narrative: Gas stations have been part of American cities since the 1940’s. One station in Denver has operated for 50 years and is now being renovated to make an electric vehicle charging station. During the demolition the engineers found that one of the gas tanks leaked for a long time and let a large amount of Gasoline seep into the soil and water under it. The site has a lot of metal contamination that is nontoxic, but will limit most organisms. The site is in city limits so they want it cleaned up fast with organisms that are not pathogenic. Design Considerations and Environment: The large amount of gasoline in shallow soils and ground water Site has metal contaminants and a lot of oxygen Rapid treatment is critical so mobile and/or rapid reproduction is essential The site is close to homes and people Design Solutions and Organism Characteristics Contamination/Treatment Features Needed: ______________________________________________________ Source Organism: ________________________________________________________________________________ Features: ________________________________________________________________________________________ Mobility Features Needed: _______________________________________________________________________ Source Organism: ________________________________________________________________________________ Features: ________________________________________________________________________________________ Capsule/Cell Wall Features Needed: ______________________________________________________________ Source Organism: ________________________________________________________________________________ Features: ________________________________________________________________________________________ Cell Membrane Features Needed: ________________________________________________________________ Source Organism: ________________________________________________________________________________ Features: ________________________________________________________________________________________ Genes/Genetic Features Needed: _______________________________________________________________ Source Organism: ________________________________________________________________________________ Features: ________________________________________________________________________________________ Energy Source Features Needed: ________________________________________________________________ Source Organism: ________________________________________________________________________________ Features: ________________________________________________________________________________________ Reproduction Features Needed: __________________________________________________________________ Source Organism: ________________________________________________________________________________ Features: ________________________________________________________________________________________ Pathology Features Needed: _____________________________________________________________________ Source Organism: ________________________________________________________________________________ Features: ________________________________________________________________________________________
