<i>Bacillus subtilis</i> has been reported to be an endophytic bacterium of a large variety of plants and trees. This model organism is a perfect chassis for our project.  Already used to treat plant diseases and fungal pathogens, we aim to engineer Bacillus subtilis so as to fight Canker Stain from the inside of the tree. Injected directly in the tree sap, our smart bacterium will act as a curative and preventive drug.
