+Biodegradable, E.coli produced, plastic. More efficient and cheap than before due to better/new cloning strategy of the enzymes required for the biopolymer production.
+'''[http://2009.igem.org/Team:Edinburgh Edinburgh]'''
+Bacteria detecting nitrite and TNT products for landmine detection. Their growth is directed towards the nitrite and TNT product to allow localization.
+'''[http://2009.igem.org/Team:ESBS-Strasbourg/Project ESBS-Strasbourg]'''
+A bacterium which degrades the petroleum: In order to avoid a bacteria pollution of the environment, this bacteria is subject to a suicide gene. This suicide gene codes for a DNAse which is expressed when there is no oil left.
+'''[http://2009.igem.org/Team:Gaston_Day_School Gaston_Day_School]'''
+Nitrate contamination (agriculture) detecting Bacteria.
+'''[http://2009.igem.org/Team:Groningen Groningen]'''
+Metal ion cleaning E.coli:
+"This strategy encompasses a biological device in which E. coli bacteria accumulate metal ions from solutions, after which they produce gas vesicles and start floating. This biological device consists of two integrated systems: one for metal uptake and storage, the other for metal induced buoyancy."
+'''[http://2009.igem.org/Team:HKU-HKBU HKU-HKBU]'''
+Bacteria driven motor. Possible application in removing the plaque in arteriosclerosis.
+'''[http://2009.igem.org/Team:HKUST HKUST]'''
+"[...]A novel yeast strain that could detect, attract and eliminate pests."
+'''[http://2009.igem.org/Team:Imperial_College_London Imperial_College_London]'''
+E.coli that produces therapeutic and encapsulate itself to serve as a pill:
+"The E.ncapsulator provides an innovative method to deliver any biologically synthesisable compound and bypasses the need for expensive storage, packaging and purification processes. The E.ncapsulator is an attractive candidate for commercial pill development and demonstrates the massive manufacturing potential in Synthetic Biology."
