The goal of the "Cobalt buster" project is to construct a bacterial strain which will be able to produce adherence structures (curlis) when cobalt is encountered in the liquid medium.

To prepare safety issues we organised a public debate called “ Nuclear technology and Genetically Modified Organisms : Can scientists keep control? ”.
