Entering A Whole New Universe Of Applications!
FmocFF is a molecule that selfassembles upon pH drop. You can build up small spheres with it! They are called Peptidosomes. Microbes have so many powerful properties! Can molecules pass the membrane to reach our microbes? And both ways together would enable communication between co-cultured but seperatly trapped microbes! Maybe we can even attach something to the surface? Using Bacillus subtilis we show the many possibilities peptidosomes offer. We could build Biosensors! And what about the other way around? Secretion as a production method using peptidosomes! Let's build a toolbox that makes secretion easier for everybody to find out! The TU Dresden iGEM team aims to explore a completely novel platform of encapsulating microbes. Let's see, how we can bring chemistry and biology together! optimizing protein Do microbes survive, grow and stay insidepeptidosomes?
