| - | <p class="lead"> | + | <p class="lead"> <i><b<Marchantia Polymorpha</b></i> is our novel, eukaryotic multicellular chassis. Being a liverwort, it is one of the most primitive current land plants. Its small size and relative genetic simplicity make it easy to work with and an exciting new model organism in synthetic biology. Content to grow on agar plates, <i>Marchantia</i> can be bioengineered in a standard lab with minimal extra equipment. Click <a href="Team:Cambridge-JIC/Marchantia">here</a> to find out more about the plant and our work to develop the chassis; and <a href="Team:Cambridge-JIC/Guide">here</a> to learn how to get started using Marchantia in your own iGEM project.</p> |

mösbi
mӧsbi stands for marchantia open-source biosensor. mӧsbi encapsulates the team's vision of creating a user-friendly, open-source biosensor using the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha. With its sturdy genetic framework and modularity, mӧsbi represents a new step in popularising synthetic biology and making it accessible to a large audience - it allows us to bring synthetic biology into your living room!

Marchantia
Results
We successfully transformed hundreds of Marchantia plants, expressed a chromoprotein in a plant for the first time, built an arduino-controlled growth chamber, introduced a new enzyme to iGEM, and characterised an old one. Click here for more information.
