Coliclock application
Generally speaking, Coliclock system controls the lifetime of GMOs in the environment. But further than that, our team was interested in some more specific applications. We chose to analyze previous and this year iGEM teams’ projects and tried to theoretically incorporate our system in their genetically engineered bacteria.
Bee. coli
First project that we were interested in, was 2013 Taipei team’s Bee. coli project. This team suggested light induced system to prevent spreading of bacteria. According to their data and experiment this system works in vitro in a lab environment. If we think about this kind of bacteria live in bees, it’s easy to imagine that bacteria can spread in the dark and get into other species.
