FIRST PITCH IN

So! My little project idea collection:

The name of my project is Ko*ko*ro*mo!

Kokoromo is a composition made of the two words...

...(jap.) kokoro

"Originally, kokoro referred to the beat of the heart, which was considered to be the essential organ of life and the source of all activities. By extension, kokoro refers to all human activities affecting the outside world through intention, emotion, and intellect."

...and the first two letters of the word moss ^^

The name should reflect a new kind of lifing. Combining both body and soul experiences through working/contact with genetic engineered natural products.


Kokoromo is...a new species of moss genetically engineered by using 3 different kinds of natural occuring mosses:

(1)Pleurozia purpurea - special moss eating small creatures 
(2)Pottiaceae - special xerophyte mosses, survive drying out
(3)Sagina subulata  - special moss is crush resistant and temperatur insensitiv



Hey Fellows, here comes my project for synbio!

After my small excursion to the world of plankton and algae, I now at last decided to return to my first project idea: the moss! for indoor vegetation!

Because as I red, moss is after all very closely related to the green algae *also called chlorophyceae* wich is living in fresh water.

So it really suggested itself to me by overlapping the two topics.


DROP IT in the DROPBOX!

To give you an overview on my previous work, I put my two .pdf on dropbox so you can download them whenever you like.

But you can put your own synbio stuff up also.

I hope everyone got the dropbox mail from me? Because I think you need to register with your E-Mailaccount on the mail-distributionlist from synbio.

Please give short response, if it is working or not. Thanx :D
