Abstract

This year's Purdue 2007 iGEM team will be preparing a project called "Bacteria Warfare" for this year's competition hosted by MIT in November. The team is composed of a group of undergraduates from different majors including Biomedical Engineering, Agricultural and Biological Engineering, Biochemistry, and Chemistry. Bacterial cells such as escherichia coli (E. coli) will be used to conduct the microbial warfare. The current design includes using three different types of transformed E. coli that will compete using unique types of 'kill' mechanisms to overcome the other types of E. coli. Different medias will be applied to vary the result of the warfare. Each type of bacteria will also be transformed to display a different color so that the progression of the war between types can be easily viewed and monitered. The team is excited to be working on this project and is moving steadily further to make this project a success.
