− | <p>This is example text. I copied the abstract here to fill some space: Synthetic biology wants to go beyond the pure biological by integrating concepts from chemistry or physics into the living world. At this interphase, our project wants to introduce Peptidosomes as a new fundamental approach for generating and applying encapsulated bacteria. | + | <p>This is example text.

− | These spheres possess advantageous properties like stability in different media and a mesh-like structure that allows for the selective exchange of compounds via diffusion. Therefore, we are able to benefit from the entrapped cells' abilities, while ensuring that they are not released into their surroundings. | + | <p>These spheres possess advantageous properties like stability in different media and a mesh-like structure that allows for the selective exchange of compounds via diffusion.

− | Using the powerful genetics of <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> and its secretory capabilities we demonstrate communication and cooperation between separately encapsulated bacterial populations as well as the environment. Peptidosomes can be further enhanced by incorporating magnetic or biological beads - which can be functionalized with proteins - into their peptide-based shell. | + | <p>Using the powerful genetics of <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> and its secretory capabilities we demonstrate communication and cooperation between separately encapsulated bacterial populations as well as the environment.
