University of Aberdeen - Pico Plumber
iGEM 2009
Microbial twa-pairt glue tae engineer sel-healin pipes; ih Pico-Plumber
Summary fir layfowk: ‘Is synthetic biology tesk'll sik tae engineer a bacterium fae the human wame, Escherichia coli, tae tak tent o laekin pipes an fix ‘em. Engineerit E. coli will tak tent o' laeks bi sikin efter a chemical merker gien oot at ih holls. Syne ih bacteria ging oo'er til ih leak, they'll synthesise twa proteins, ane but the cell, the ither ben, that'll atween them baith mak up the twa pairts o' a biological protein glue. The adhesive is ainly activatit fan ih twa pairts stert tae max th'gither. The E. coli cells'll be engineerit tae burst at ih place o the laek, maxin ih twa pairts o' the glue an biggin a sticky protein plug tae fix ih holl in ih pipe.
