This page provides a quick overview of what our feasibility study achieved, with links to more detailed explanations.

In silico

We modelled cellulose degradation and how it is affected by enzyme synergy. We analysed the advantages and disadvantages of our various approaches.

We also modelled phage replication, and artificial selection as applied to bacteria expressing cellulases.

See our Modelling page for more.

We pioneered the use of the RFC 81 protocol, " BioSandwich" to assemble DNA parts.

We successfully created new β-glucosidase and amylase BioBricks and proved that they work.

We produced fusions of INP to other proteins, and found evidence that they could fold correctly and be successfully carried to the outer membrane.
