63%
How did Chloronova influence this years project?
Carbon capture model using hamilton industry
This happens to engineered strains after a few generations
returns to parent
Even though yeast is much faster at making ergosterol, what three reasons do we believe our system is viable against it
Low cost
Carbon capture
Locality to needed populations
This percentage of women over the age of 55 experience menopausal symptoms (same number as those who are then prescribed HRT to alleviate these symptoms)
75-85%
This is the method of transformation for our algae strain?
Glass Bead
This type of difference is expected in the ergosterol profile when endogenous enzymes are expressed
Null - none
This is where we will expect our gene fragment to integrate
nuclear genome
Algae biologist believe industrialists use algae as a greenwashing technique because of this change in scale up
Acetate as the carbon source
The earliest we can see any changes, big or small in the steel plants is 2060 because of this economic reason
Burner warranty being 25-50 years old
These are the three key features of our strain ordered from crc
Hint - cw15 not1, nit2, Arg7-8
Cell wall deficient

12% industry
5% in lab
This is the main difference between a kinetic model vs a flux balance analysis
The unit over time

0.1%
This was a concern for design given that two transcription units that use the same promoter were right next to eachother in our circuit
Transcriptional interference
Competition for machinery
