• Our design
  

To achieve this goal, we use a species of magnetic bacteria, Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1. We have chosen mms13, a transmembrane protein as our target for protein design in this bacterium, as it serves as a linker between reception of wireless magnetic field and optogenetic neuro-stimulation output. Regarding the neuroimmune response, we choose three genes to achieve symbiosis within glial cell: MinC, a division inhibitor, INV, a gene for invasion and LLO, a gene for facilitated escape from phagosomes.

• Our design is made up of the following two devices:
  

• Achievements

• We designed a new cloning vector of AMB-1 which is compatible with common biobricks, make it easier for igemers to clone magnetic bacteria AMB-1.
• We submitted over 60 parts to the resgristry, which can be used for application magnetic enlightment, cloning AMB-1, Symbiosis with Human cell.
• We designed helical anti-membrane protein CHAMP for mms13, seperate two helix of magnetite binding protein mms13. Make it a flexible use of magnetic field in iGEM.
• We removed a PstI site of the part BBa_K299806, which express MinC protein. Improve the compacity of this part.
• We designed a free online software, which provides an automated ONE-STEP primer design service of BioBricks for iGEM.
