Overview
iGEM Wageningen 2014 has created BananaGuard, a genetically modified Pseudomonas putida capable of fighting against Fusarium oxysporum, a fungus that threatens banana production globally.
-
Background
Panama disease is caused by Fusarium and is threatening the banana production worldwide.
-
Solution
BananaGuard is able to detect Fusarium in the soil, inhibit fungal growth and self-destruct afterwards.
-
Results
We have built a Fusaric acid dependent promoter, kill switch parts, antifungals, modeled BananaGuard and much more ...
-
Achievements
We have met all the requirements for the bronze, silver and gold medals!
-
BioBricks
Find out all about the BioBrick parts we made and improved!
