Project Description
From spider silk to mollusc nacre, living organisms have evolved a wide variety with astonishing physical properties. The synthesis of biomaterials occurs thanks to a sequence of localized physiological events which have remained difficult to harness artificially. Our iGEM project aims to engineer E. coli to enable a greater spatial and timing control necessary to the synthesis of biomaterials. To do so, three research axes will be developed. The first axis will focus on the synthesis of biomaterials such as biominerals and biopolymers. The second axis will investigate the use of recently described RNA scaffolding to optimize the enzymatic catalysis involved in the materials synthesis. The third axis will develop the optogenetic circuits enabling the light induced control of our bacteria. In its most advanced state, our technology will enable us to define the 3D shape and to control the composition (and, hence, the physical properties) of our biomaterial.
