Fixation Results
Aims
-To find a suitable material for encapsulation
-To build a construct that will appropriately express this material within a biofilm
-To transform this construct into the chassis and express it
-To characterise the expression and its effects towards fixation and encapsulation of the biofilm
Methods
We found our encapsulating material in Capsular Colanic Acid (Chao & Zhang, 2011). For simplicity it was decided to use an existing colanic acid biobrick, from the Imperial College iGEM 2009 Team.
