Glowing Glowing Gone is a campaign to accelerate coral protection called by the UN.

We're here to achieve Glowing Glowing Grow and create Coral Cola.

Coral reef, one of the ocean's most vibrant and resource-rich ecosystems

covers merely 0.2% of sea floor but supports about 25% of marine life

It's also significant natural protector,

shielding coastlines from erosion
and providing a barrier
against the fury of storms.

beneath which even lies a treasure trove of potential resources for medicine and industry.

HOWEVER

with the deterioration of ocean environment,
coral reefs are experiencing stress from LIGHT and HEAT.

If we simply stand by, 99% of coral will disappear by 2100.

They would struggle to overcome,
becoming more GLOWING than before,
but always fail, get bleached and GONE.

That's what we call
Glowing Glowing Gone
for corals.

We are here to
provide a solution ٩(◦`꒳´◦)۶ ⭐️

Coral

express chromoprotein and fluorescence protein to protect themselves,

which makes them glow when facing stress.

Inspired by it, we design our circuit in symbiotic bacteria.

By utilizing an "And Gate", which combines the expression products of the two systems to further trigger the downstream promoter, the two sensing systems are linked together to jointly promote the expression of the downstream CP protein.

which can turn on the expression of more chromoprotein to absorb excessive light, protecting corals.

Our solution can increase the resilience of corals, assisting them to survive in over-heat or over-light environment.

Coral have rarely blue color in farming industry. By choosing a blue chromoprotein, we adjust the colors of corals, which create new commercial value.

Our activities will spread ocean and coral knowledge to wider population. The idea of synthetic biology will be conveyed to involve more people.

Coral Cola!

We believe that expressing chromoprotein to protect corals from bleaching is a coral-friendly way, which will not affect the metabolic processes inside coral cells but only change the micro-environment where the coral cells live.

Since the factors in ocean are changing all the time, the circuit with sensor will sometimes be easily triggered. We are unwilling to express the chromoprotein with instantaneous temperature increases or light enhancements which will not cause bleaching in ever-changing environment. "AND Gate" is a good method to keep stability of our designed circuit.
