Multigenomic microorganism

the idea

We would like to create an organism able to have specific abilities depending on the external conditions, for exemple in a reactor the bacteria could catalyze a reaction that requires high temperature and catalyze the rest of the reaction at low temperature.

how to concretize it

We would need to implant the genom of an extremophile in another one, and to have a plasmid that would serve as a switch between the expression of the two genom.

approval

Very interesting but it required 5 years for a team to succesfully implant the genom from a bacterium to another.

-This is one of the few idea that came directly out of the box. It was suppose to supply the genetic therapy with a support to the gene insertion so that it won't alter anymore the chromosome of the under-treatment cells. Obviously it could also be the place for inserting gene for protecting the orgnanism before an infection or disease.

-We would have need to rebuild every promotor to be eukaryotic one plus the replication origin.

-Interesting idea but maybe too ambitious, and we would need to work on eukaryotic cell representing a harsh condition to fullfill.
