The year Canada wants to reach Net Zero?

2050

This enzyme is involved in the rate limiting step in the MEP?

These 2 hamilton industries can be targeted for our fuel source in the biosystem

  • Steel plant/burners

  • Breweries

100

The precursors for the ergosterol biosynthesis pathway are made in this cellular location

  • Chloroplast

100

The two causes of progesterone shortages in canada 



  • aging Canadian population 

  • Climate change impacts the crop and supply chain 

200

What does GMP stand for in regulation processes?

good manufacturing process

200

It is this percentage of the sterol profile that is made of ergosterol in chlamydomonas reinhardtii?

63%

200

How did Chloronova influence this years project?

Carbon capture model using hamilton industry

200


This happens to engineered strains after a few generations


  • returns to parent 


200

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

300

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%

300


This is the method of transformation for our algae strain?

Glass Bead

300

This type of difference is expected in the ergosterol profile when endogenous enzymes are expressed

  • Null - none 

300

This is where we will expect our gene fragment to integrate


nuclear genome

300

Algae biologist believe industrialists use algae as a greenwashing technique because of this change in scale up

Acetate as the carbon source

400

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

400

These are the three key features of our strain ordered from crc

Hint - cw15 not1, nit2, Arg7-8



  • Cell wall deficient 

  • Arginine auxotroph 

  • Selective growth on nitrogen containing media 

400

What percent of carbon does our biosystem need to fuel the algae?



12% industry 

5% in lab



400

This is the main difference between a kinetic model vs a flux balance analysis

  • The unit over time

  • Enzyme concentrations vs reaction activity

400

This economic factor stopped the successful uptake of algae biofuel in 2010’s

Biofuel cost against natural gas cost

500

What percent of progesterone is used in medicines dispensed?


  • 30 percent in capsules, 

  • 8 percent in creams

500

This flaw in cyanobacteria stopped us from choosing it as a chassis to make sterols



Sterol profile

500

What percent of biomass is expected to be ergosterol?



  • 0.1%

500

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 

500

What is the current for carbon credits today in the form sequestered carbon?
