We chose to work with <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 <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 <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 <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 prevented germination by knocking out involved genes and developed a <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>.

iGEM Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Beadzillus

Team-LMU Photo1.jpg

The LMU-Munich team is exuberantly happy about the great success at the World Championship Jamboree in Boston. Our project Beadzillus finished 4th and won the prize for the "Best Wiki" (with Slovenia) and "Best New Application Project".
