<h2>Abstract of our project</h2>
+
-
<div class="section_intro_side">
+
<font color=black>
-
<p>In synthetic biology, one of the main issues scientists and engineers must tackle is biochemical pathways optimization.
 
-
In fact, it is often difficult to predict in which positions the genes of the pathway must be assembled in order to efficiently
 
-
produce the desired molecule.
 
-
<br></br>
 
-
In this project, we are going to develop an exceptional natural tool that could be used to optimize bio-production pathways: 
 
-
the integron. Integrons are genetic platforms which contain (re)movable gene cassettes. These integrons are mostly known to carry
 
-
resistances to antibiotics. They are flanked with recombination sites which allow gene shuffling inside the integron thanks to a
 
-
specific enzyme: the integrase.
 
-
<br></br>
 
-
As a proof of concept, we are going to produce two antibiotics: Microcin C7 and Microcin B17. The first one inhibits a tRNA synthetase,
 
-
the second a gyrase. These two antibiotic operons encompass respectively 6 and 7 genes.
 
-
<br></br>
 
-
Two bacteria possessing the integron containing the antibiotics production gene cassettes, the integrase and a low resistance to the
 
-
opposite antibiotic will be put in competition. With the integrase, we could change the natural order of the genes in order to optimize
 
-
production. In parallel, this competition experiment will be modeled.</p>
