Week 1: Principles and Practices
Week 1: Save the World or Destroy the World Part 1. Project Description Application: Visual-Signaling Engineered Yeast for Real-time Monitoring in Opaque Fermentation Vessels (Onggi, Stainless Steel, etc.) Why this project? In both traditional brewing (using Onggi) and modern brewing (using stainless steel or plastic tanks), it is nearly impossible to monitor the internal fermentation state—such as abnormal fermentation or contamination—without opening the vessel. Opening the lid risks introducing external contaminants. I want to develop an engineered yeast that converts specific metabolic states into visible signals (color or fluorescence). This “living sensor” will report what is happening inside the “black box” of opaque fermentation tanks in real-time.
