Our Project
Chiba University iGEM07 team's project is to make a Marimo-ish bacteria. Marimo is a green spherical shaped algae, which is a popular living organism in Japan as a National Monument. When you come to Japan, you absolutely come across to Marimo in Aquarisms, TV programs or Mangas :)
Japan is full of "Marimo"s. From left to right: Marimoccori, Roronoa Zoro, Marimo Express, Marimo in the lake. For details, see this wikipedia article
