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".

You are provided with this team page template with which to start the iGEM season. You may choose to personalize it to fit your team but keep the same "look." Or you may choose to take your team wiki to a different level and design your own wiki. You can find some examples HERE.

You MUST have all of the pages listed in the menu below with the names specified. PLEASE keep all of your pages within your teams namespace.

Overall project

The goal of our project BEADzillus is the production of Bacillus subtilis spores which display different proteins with special features on their surface. For example, the spore could:

- bind harmful viruses

- bind toxic metals

- bind plastic molecules

- expose enzymes

to filter fluids or for use in laboratory.

As a safety issue we will stop spores from outgrowing. First we want to knock out several genes which are important for germination and second we want potentially outgrowing spores to be killed by a toxin they produce themselves.

Project Details

Clone Vectors

Part of establishing Bacillus subtilis to the BioBrick mode is to modify standard vectors of Bacillus.

Evaluate Promoters

Another point is to produce promoters of Bacillus subtilis in BioBrick mode and to evaluate them.

Fuse Spore Coat Proteins

Stop Germination
