In this group we focus on the improvement of <i>E. coli</i> swimming abilities. So far, we have been working with strain DH10B.

In this group, the main focus is to first clone the aspartate receptor TAR from <i>E. coli</i> under different strong constitutive promoters
 +
into vectors. After examination of effects overexpressing this chemotaxis receptor, the next challenge is to mutagenize this protein to receive
 +
a chemoreceptor library. Ideally, the specificity of the receptor becomes altered due to mutation of the ligand binding sites important for chemical binding.
