Team:HKUST-Hong Kong/Achievement

Our iGEM journey has spanned the length of six months, from the day it was first proposed in mid-March to the day we ended wet lab work in mid-September.
We are proud to say that within our three months of wet lab work we have achieved the following:

Successfully constructed the parts for displaying recognition peptide, RPMrel, on the cell wall of Bacillus subtilis (BBa_K733007).
Successfully constructed two parts for BMP-2 synthesis and excretion using signaling peptides YbdN and YdjM respectively (BBa_K733016, BBa_K733017).
Successfully constructed a cell growth inhibition device for regulating BMP-2 production (BBa_K733012).
Successfully characterized the low efficiency promoter pTms which was used to drive the expression of antitoxin YdcD (BBa_K733009, BBa_K733018).
Successfully characterized a xylose-inducible promoter which was used to control the expression of BMP-2 and toxin YdcE.
Successfully characterized the cell growth inhibition device.
