WrightState-OH # Deconta-Mn-ate: Advancing Manganese Detection # The iGEM-WrightState Deconta-Mn-ate research project combines cutting-edge research, social outreach and collaboration to address the important issue of manganese contamination in drinking water. Our goal is to provide innovative solutions for water testing and to inspire scientists and citizens to join us in this vital cause. Our project builds upon our 2022 E. coli-based biosensor capable of detecting manganese down to 0.5ppm. Our 2023 team adapted the biosensor to a cell-free approach, reducing assay time to 2 hours. ...
