<p class="texte">The discussion has been long to estimate the practicability of our final project. By the end of June, most of the ideas were eliminated but two of them remained: controlling the cancer or saving the trees. It became easily clear that SubtiTree was successfully completed whether regarding the scientific part or the ethical aspect. Indeed, our knowledge in medicine was not sufficient enough to evaluate the consequences of a bacterium injection in the human body for <i>E. coli</i> cancer.</br>

Therefore, the whole team agreed on focusing on a local issue as the preservation of the Canal du Midi plane trees. However, the final goal was based on the idea to allow our optimized bacteria to be efficient for all fungi infections in the environment.</br>
