Outer Membrane Vesicles

We are attempting to express (non-toxic!) heterologus proteins in bacterial outer membrane vesicles for the purposes of 'digital' communication, swarm immunity and pattern formation:

Magnetotaxis

Inspired by papers on [http://link.aip.org/link/?APPLAB/89/233904/1 controlled manipulation and actuation of micro-objects with magnetotactic bacteria], we are also looking into magnetotaxis via attatchment of bacteria to external magnetic particles:
