Overview

Characterized biofilm properties of B. subtilis. Natto, 3610 ComI, 168, JH642 and PY79

Demonstrated ion-selectivity of the B. subtilis biofilm and improved it with our biobricks.

Modeled y-PGA as a Cation Exchange membrane using Molecular Dynamics

Designed drip and continuous flow method to grow more robust biofilms.

Created easy cheap test to measure rigidity of biofilms.

Created new backbone(K1597001) for integration into ThrC locus in B. subtilis and validated it.

Constructs created for TasA, BslA, Abrb KO, SlrR, y-PGA and ProH

Created biobricks to increase the robustness.

Validated ThrC(K1597001), TasA(K1597002) and ProH (K1597000)

Created future scenario’s about GMO’s and sustainability and a cardgame for education
