{{Imperial/Box1|Our Work With ''B. subtilis'' Chassis|
[https://2008.igem.org/Team:Imperial_College/B.subtilis '''Please click here for more information''']
<br>
B.subtilis has great potential as a chassis for synthetic biology. However it is not commonly used in iGEM competitions and very few ''B. subtilis'' BioBricks are available. In order to increase the accessibility of B.subtilis as a chassis, we have created 41 new BioBricks which are specific to ''B. subtilis''. We have also successfully transformed it and characterised its growth.|[[Image:B subtilis Clutch Mechanism.png|250px]]

{{Imperial/Box1|Control of Motility|
[https://2008.igem.org/Team:Imperial_College/Motility_Control '''Please click here for the Motility Control Results Page''']
<br>
We studied the motility of ''B. subtilis'' and developed an elegant mechanical model to describe cell trajectory. We fitted our model to our laboratory data and discovered that our model matches cell trajectory data extremely well.

{{Imperial/Box1|Characterisation of Chloramphenicol Acetyltransferase|<br>
[https://2008.igem.org/Team:Imperial_College/CAT '''Please click here for the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase Characterisation Summary Page''']<br>
'''We have characterised the ability of Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase ([http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title{{equals}}Part:BBa_J31005 BBa_J31005]) to provide resistance to Chlroamphenicol. This has shown that a variety of our parts are functional including integration sites, promoters and ribosome binding sites and the range of chloramphenicol concentrations at which a cell will be protected by Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase'''.

{{Imperial/Box1|Characterisation of BioBricks|
[https://2008.igem.org/Team:Imperial_College/Biobricks '''Please click here for the BioBricks Characterisation Summary Page''']<br>
'''We have characterised several of our testing constructs in ''B. subtilis''.This has shown that a variety of our parts are functional including integration sites, antibiotic resistance, promoters and ribosome binding sites.'''
