Sporulation Tuning
Introduction
A necessary part of our project is to be able to tune the frequency of sporulation in our system, so that we can make decisions about how much of our bacterial population will become spores, and ultimately “metal containers”.
Novelty in this sub-project
Instead of letting a cell decide when it wants to sporulate, we hope to influence it's decision. We plan to use kinA as a part of this system.
Modelling
BioBrick constructs
A BioBrick which we are designing is to contain an IPTG inducable kinA gene, using pSpac, allowing us to test the theory about kinA in the lab.
Lab Work Strategies
The lab work will mainly be to test our BioBrick using IPTG.
