We propose the widening of the BioBrick standard, not by increasing the library of components but adding steps in the abstraction hierarchy. We believe that the tendency of synthetic biology in this decade is going to be the distribution of complex functions among strains so that the cells are not overloaded. The rise of the number of communication substances will limit the number of strains that can remain in the same environment.That leaves us with the necessity of dividing physically the strains in different places. This project pursues the objective of finding a substance that acts as a link among communities, thus becoming a putative synthetic quorum sensing system. This substance, the Universal BioBit (Ubbit) shall fulfill certain requirements: firstly, biosynthesis should be possible; secondly, it needs to be degraded efficiently; and thirdly, it should induce the genetic expression of what we want in a target cell. Our research will assess the behavior of many substances and finally we will publish the results with a free use license (probably Creative Commons).
