Our project will combine the idea of biological "beads" with the production of endospores in the gram-positive bacteria ''Bacillus subtilis''. Our goal is to induce the production of specific proteins on the outer surface of ''B. subtilis'' endospores, and knock out spore germination-inducing genes such that the spores can be used as beads, without the ability to germinate.
+
We chose to work with [https://2012.igem.org/Team:LMU-Munich/Bacillus_Introduction <i>Bacillus subtilis</i>] to set new horizons and offer tools for this model organism to the <i>Escherichia coli</i>-dominated world of iGEM. Therefore, we created a [https://2012.igem.org/Team:LMU-Munich/Bacillus_BioBricks <b><i>Bacillus</i>B</b>io<b>B</b>rick<b>B</b>ox] (<b>B<sup>4</sup></b>) composed of reporter genes, defined promoters, as well as reporter, expression, and empty vectors in BioBrick standard. <i>B. subtilis</i> naturally produces stress-resistant endospores which can germinate in response to suitable environmental conditions. To highlight this unique feature using the <b>B<sup>4</sup></b>, we developed [https://2012.igem.org/Team:LMU-Munich/Spore_Coat_Proteins <b>Sporo</b>beads]. These are spores displaying fusion proteins on their surface. As a proof of principle, we fused GFP to the outermost layer. Expanding this idea, we designed a [https://2012.igem.org/Team:LMU-Munich/Bacillus_BioBricks/Sporovector <b>Sporo</b>vector] to easily create any <b>Sporo</b>bead imaginable. Because the <b>Sporo</b>beads must be biologically safe and stable vehicles, we [https://2012.igem.org/Team:LMU-Munich/Germination_Stop prevented germination] by knocking out involved genes and developed a [https://2012.igem.org/Team:LMU-Munich/Germination_Stop <b>Suicide</b>switch] turned on in case of germination. With the project <b>Bead</b>zillus, our team demonstrates the powerful nature of <i>B. subtilis</i>.
-
 
+
-
''B. subtilis'' spores are particularly suited to be used in industrial-type applications as "beads" due to their resistance to extreme heat, cold, to desiccation and disinfectants, and even to radiation.  
+
-
 
+
-
Each ''B. subtilis'' cell produces only one endospore -- in addition to developing our altered strain, we must work to ensure a dependable supply, since we will be removing one of their means of reproduction.
