The discovery of Kepler-452b calls public attention on space immigration again. As a matter of fact, the immigration to Mars, the most earthlike planet in solar system, still should be considered as priority. It is noticeable that CO2 and N2 occupy almost 98% of Martian atmosphere. Thus, we engineered two types of E.coli, which carry out anaerobic carbon fixation with ACS/CODH system, and nitrogen fixation with Paenibacillus nitrogenase respectively. We hope our E. pangu will play the role of pioneer organism on Mars immigration. Based on this purpose, we call them E. pangu collectively, which is named after the creator of universe, Pan Gu in Chinese mythology. In addition, we used CRISPR-Cas 9 technique to verify our carbon fixation system, and we verified a promoter part we submitted last year.
