Quick and effective control of bacteria motility - we should be able to stop bacteria locomotion efficiently.
The mechanism for motility control should be reversible - bacteria should be able to regain locomotion after a certain recovery period, but this is not essential.
Biomaterial Production
Bacteria should be able to secrete large amounts of a self-assembling biomaterial into the growth medium.
Biomaterial must be small enough to facilitate its secretion by the chassis.
Biomaterial should be compatible with tissue engineering or regenerative medicine.
For more information on how B. subtilis meets our specifications and why we have embarked on the ambitious route of using it as our chassis, please refer to the next page. >>> Why B. subtilis? >>>
