Chassis 2 - Other pros, cons and information...

Authors: Chris, James

James - Here is a table of potential advantages and disadvatages of using B.subtilis for our project and some more general chassis ad/disad. We may wish to think about chassis ad/dis seperatly, for example, in the registry the we will want to put the chassis info up!

Benefits
Challenges
Single Membrane - B.subtilis is a gram-positive bacterium and contains only a single membrane. This makes B.subtilis an ideal organism for secretion of proteins and other biomaterials. Starting from scratch - Although previous iGEM teams have looked at B.subtilis as a potential chassis, there are few working B.subtilis parts. As a result we will have to design a vaerity of promoter, ribosome binding sites and protein coding regions.
Potential Parts - B.subtilis is a highly studied organism, its genome has been fully sequenced and many of these genes have been functionaly annotated. As a result, B.subtilis provides many useful potential parts that we could take advantage of. For example within our project, potential parts for control of motility, light sensing and secretion pathways. Sporulation - Under stress conditions B.subtilis will form spores. These spores are highly resistant versions of single cells, able to with stand extremes in heat and pH. These spores are capable of growing into a new organisms once favourable growing conditions are returned. Because of the resistance of spores, there is a great potential for manipulating them for transporting B.subtilis devices and constructs.
Non pathogenic - Peptidase activity -
Easy to store and transport (sporulation) Vector digestor -
Naturally Competent -

Highly Motile -
