B.subtilis has great potential as a chassis for synthetic biology. However it is not commonly used in iGEM competition and very few B.subtilis BioBricks are available. In order to increase the accessibility of B.subtilis as a chassis, we have created 45 new BioBricks, successfully transformed B.subtilis and characterised their growth.

We have characterised the ability of Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase([http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=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.

We have characterised several of our testing constructs in B.stubilis.This has shown that a variety of our parts are functional including integration sites, antibiotic resistance, promoters and ribosome binding sites.

General lab work and smaller results are put up on the calendar on the dates they were done; they can therefore be found in the >>> Notebook >>>
