Team:SVCE Chennai/Project
Project: Minicins
Project Description
Our project aims to neuter multidrug resistant bacterial infections with the help of bacteriocins in a minicell chassis.
Firstly, the idea was to use two different plasmids – one for minicell division and the other for bacteriocin production. Then, we realized that plasmids are carried to the minicells. This requires the use of two different plasmids with two different promoters. Instead of going for two different plasmids, we modulated our design to a plasmid with two different expression cassettes.
