Iqela le-Tsinghua-TFL, phantsi kwesikhokelo sikaNjingalwazi uPan Junmin, libandakanya abafundi abali-10 abangekabinazidanga kunye nabagqatswa aba-3 bogqirha kwiSikolo seSayensi zoBomi, kwiYunivesithi yaseTsinghua. Iqela lijolise ekusebenziseni inguqu yokwenziwa kwebhayoloji ye-photosynthetic imodeli ye-chassis organisms -i-microalgae, ngokugxila ekwakhiweni kweChlamydomonas reinhardtii carbon-fixing kunye nefektri yokuvelisa isitashi (StarChlamy) ukunika umthombo omtsha wokutya, ukunciphisa ukuthembela kumhlaba olimekayo.

Ngaphaya koko, iqela, elixhaswe yinkampani yabafundi baseTsinghua Life Sciences alumni,Iprotoga UbomitI-ech Co., Ltd., ingena kwisakhiwo senkxaso esahlukileyo esibonelelwa yiIProtoga Biotech kuquka amaziko elebhu, amaziko okuvelisa, kunye nezibonelelo zokuthengisa.

Kungoku nje, ihlabathi lijongene nengxaki enkulu yomhlaba, nezenzo zemveli zezolimo zibeke ukuxhomekeka kakhulu kumhlaba ukuze kufumaneke izityalo ezitya ukutya, nto leyo eyandisa umba ogqubayo wendlala ngenxa yokunqongophala komhlaba olimekayo.

Ukujongana nale nto, iqela laseTsinghua-TFL licebise isisombululo sabo - ukwakhiwa kwei-microalgae iphotobioreactor carbon fixation factory njengomthombo omtsha wokutya ukunciphisa ukuthembela kumhlaba olimekayo wezityalo zokutya.

TIqela lakhe lijolise kwiindlela zemetabolism zestatshi, isondlo esikhulu kwizityalo zokutya, ukuvelisa ngokufanelekileyo isitatshi ukusukai-microalgae kunye nokuphucula umgangatho wayo ngokwandisa umlinganiselo we-amylose.

Kwangaxeshanye, ngokuguqulwa kwebhayoloji yokwenziwa kwindlela yokukhanya kunye nomjikelo kaCalvin kwinkqubo yephotosynthesis.i-microalgae, baye bandisa i-photosynthetic carbon fixation esebenzayo, ngaloo ndlela bedala ukusebenza kakuhle StarChlamy.

Emva kokuthatha inxaxheba kwi-20th International Genetically Engineered Machine Competition (iGEM) yokugqibela eParis ukususela ngoNovemba 2nd ukuya kwi-5th 2023, iqela le-Tsinghua-TFL lifumene iMbasa yeGolide, ukutyunjwa kwe "Best Plant Synthetic Biology" kunye ne "Best Sustainable Development Impact" ukutyunjwa, ukuthabatha. ingqalelo kwiprojekthi yayo entsha kunye nezakhono zophando ezibalaseleyo.

Ukhuphiswano lwe-iGEM lusebenze njengeqonga labafundi lokubonisa impumelelo entsha kwinkalo yenzululwazi yobomi nethekhinoloji, bekhokela phambili kubunjineli bemfuza kunye nebhayoloji yokwenziwa. Ukongeza, ibandakanya intsebenziswano yamacandelo ahlukeneyo kunye neenkalo ezifana nezibalo, isayensi yekhompyutha, kunye neenkcukacha-manani, ukubonelela ngenqanaba elifanelekileyo lotshintshiselwano olubanzi lwabafundi.

Ukusukela ngo-2007, iSikolo seSayensi zoBomi kwiYunivesithi yaseTsinghua siye sakhuthaza abafundi abangekabinazidanga ukuba benze amaqela e-iGEM. Kule minyaka ingamashumi amabini idlulileyo, bangaphezulu kwamakhulu amabini abafundi abathathe inxaxheba kolu khuphiswano, bezuza amawonga amaninzi. Kulo nyaka, iSikole seSayensi zoBomi sathumela amaqela amabini, iTsinghua kunye neTsinghua-TFL, ukuba baqeshwe, ukusekwa kweqela, ukusekwa kweprojekthi, uvavanyo kunye nokwakhiwa kwe-wiki. Ekugqibeleni, amalungu angama-24 athatha inxaxheba asebenze ngentsebenziswano ukunikezela ngeziphumo ezanelisayo kulo lonke ucelomngeni lwenzululwazi nobuchwepheshe.
