1. Concept & Model

The goal of our project is to make a bacterial society that follows Pareto's principle as an ant society does. On the other word, we try to construct a bacterial system which takes "stable coexistence".(See more.)

1. Coexistence　⇒　2. Worker Removal
　3. Unstability ⇒　4.Coexistence again

2. Requirements

Bistability and cell-cell communication are necessary to realize our model of "stable coexistence". (See more.)

1．Differentiation generated by mutural-inhibition circuit.
2．cell-cell communication .

3. Genetic circuit

The genetic circuit in this project consisted of the new parts as well as BioBrick parts. (See more.)

Assay of our brand-new promoter part

The new parts of this year are here!!

4. Works

Our model has been sophisticated though successive combinations of wet and dry approaches. (See more.)
