Project Overview

If we are able to move E. coli to the proper places, the achievements of synthetic biology will be more useful. For example, bioremediation, drug delivery, making E. coli pellet without centrifuge, etc. In order to realize this dream, we focused on the magnetosome: a magnetic organelle of magnetotactic bacteria. It consists of a lipid bilayer and a magnet. E. coli with magnetosome will be moved by magnetism. To realize this amazing E. coli, we started from making the magnetosome. Finally, we detected magnetosome-like vesicles in our transformants!

Project Overview

Generating cloud. This is our project aim. You might think we are dreaming, but, we found a clue in some scientists' words. In wetlands or sea, specific marine bacteria and coral produce dimethyl sulfide (DMS), which becomes a Cloud Condensation Nuclei (CCN), we thought we could produce cloud by creating E. coli which synthesizes DMS. To realize this, we consist a biosynthetic pathway of DMS in E. coli by introducing genes from Fragilariopsis cylindrus and Ruegeria pomeroyi. We use DMS detecting tube and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to confirm the function. Don't you think it is fantastic if the small organism, E. coli, creates something big, cloud? And this project may have the possibility to solve environmental problems.

-            <p>Clouds, which gives us rain and shade is the very important thing on the Earth. Some scientists say that coral and some other sea bacteria produce DMS, dimethyl sulfide which turns to be a seed of cloud. We focused on this interesting phenomenon. What we do is to create the E.coli which can produce DMS. In order to do so, we introduce the biosynthetic pathway of DMS into E.coli and detect the products by HPLC and DMS detector tube. Don’t you think it is fantastic if the small creature, E.coli, creates the big things, clouds? And this projects may have the possibility to answer the environmental problem.</p>

              <h2>Project Overview</h2>
-             <p>The purpose of our project is make magnetotactic bacteria’s organelle “magnetosome” in E. coli. We have an eye on magnetotactic bacteria because it have organelle magnetosome and make magnetite inside it. If E. coli have this bio mineralization system, we are able to move E. coli freely by magnetic force. It is known that many proteins are related to magnetosome formation but specific role of all magnetosome protein is not clear so we transform three proteins’ genes mamL, mamQ and mamB that are considered to be related first step of magnetosome formation. Finely we succeed to confirm lipid bilayer like magnetosome by TEM.</p>
