Our project invented a way to control the plasmid replication in the cell and plasmid will be lost in subsequent generations. Furthermore, IPTG is only occurred in laboratory areas and is the only molecule that can stimulates the plasmid replication, which suggests that IPTG is limited in resources in the environment. By applying this strategy to the cell can significant reduced the chance for cells to escape and survive outside the laboratory. This strategy also reduces the possibility of transferring antibiotic resistance to other bacteria in the community environment. As a result, we have provided a safer living and working community for both civilians and scientists.
