Module 3 is the final module of the system. The E.ncapsulator has completed its job of drug production and drug packaging. It will now induce cell death and remove any potentially harmful genetic material. This prevents any possible pathogenic effects, and also allays health concerns of eating genetically modified organisms. It achieves this by triggering the production of restriction enzymes which will digest all its genetic material.
