Project Description
As a new team to the iGEM competition, Southampton hopes to bring an innovative application of quorum sensing to the 2009 Jamboree. Using this method of bacterial communication, we have designed two systems, which demonstrate the classic games ‘Rock-Paper-Scissors’ and ‘Conway’s Game of Life’. We aim for these complementary systems to exhibit complex intercellular behaviours arising from the application of simple ‘game’ rules.
John Conway’s Game of
Life is a popular representation of
cellular
automata. As a zero player game, it proceeds without further input once
initiated. We intend to utilize the Game’s basic rules to
develop
a
system on two separate plasmids that fluoresces in an imitation of the
Game. Thereby we aim to initiate and thus control the creation of
patterns produced by the oscillating bacteria.
‘Rock-Paper-Scissors’ is a well-known two-person
hand game
whereby the
players seek to produce a gesture that will defeat that of their
opponent. By coordinating the promoters and operators of three
different bacterial cells, we have designed a system where each
bacterium can disable the primary plasmid of specific opponent cells,
whilst simultaneously enduring the attacks of their rival cells. Our
aim is to have no bias within the system so that the end result is not
predetermined.
