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.
