Exterminator Coli

Project Description

NYUAD iGEM team is building a self-sustaining mosquitoes trap. The trap attracts the mosquitoes by having E.coli secreting indole and lactic acid, both of which are highly attractive to a broad range of mosquitoes. Indole is produced from tryptophan by E.coli with the genes tnaA and tnaB. Similarly, lactic acid is produced from fructose by E. coli with the gene lldD.

Once the mosquitoes fly into the trap to get nearer to the source of indole and lactic acid, they will be welcomed by an electric fence. The fence shocks the mosquitoes and make them fall onto the medium containing the E.coli. Upon contact with the medium, the hard exoskeleton of the mosquitoes is digested by chitinase (chitinase is produced by the gene ChiA in E.coli). With the hard outer exoskeletons removed, the E. coli feasts on the remaining of the mosquitoes to remain alive and attract more mosquitoes..
