<p>The <a href="https://2016.igem.org/Team:TU_Darmstadt">iGEM team of TU Darmstadt</a> developed a <a href="https://2016.igem.org/Team:TU_Darmstadt/Lab">biosafety system</a> that makes bacteria strains survive only at laboratory conditions. The idea is that they require a specific unnatural amino acid in the medium. In case the cells leave this environment, the bacterial genome is degraded by the DNase Colicin E2, leading to cell death and destruction of the genetic information.

<p>The DNase Colicin E2 consists of 3 domains: a cell export domain, a cell import domain and a DNase domain. The team of TU Darmstadt developed a minimalized version of this protein, containing only the DNase domain. This protein (mCol<sub>WT</sub>), as well as a mutated version (mCol<sub>mut</sub>; C266A), was put behind a T7 Promoter on the plasmid pSB1A3. After transformation of both constructs into <i>E. coli TOP10</i> and BL21, Team Darmstadt observed a significantly lower colony count for mCol<sub>WT</sub> than for mCol<sub>mut</sub> on LB Agar supplemented with Ampicillin. In order to check if this apparent toxic effect of mCol<sub>WT</sub> is also oberservable in other strains, we tested mCol<sub>WT</sub> and mCol<sub>mut</sub> via transformation in <i>Shimwellia blattae</i> (a strain we are using in our project) at our lab in G&ouml;ttingen. Empty pSB1A3 was also transformed into <i>S. blattae</i>, in order to check if the plasmid is compatible with the strain.</p>

<p>All transformations were successful, but no significant difference in the colony count between mCol<sub>WT</sub> (960 and 776 colonies; upper plates in figure 1) and mCol<sub>mut</sub> (628 and 984 colonies; lower plates in figure 1) could be observed (Fig. 1). </p>

<p>Initialized by the <a href="https://2016.igem.org/Team:Duesseldorf/Outreach">iGEM Team from D&uuml;sseldorf</a>, we had a nice human practice collaoration with the teams from Aachen, Bielefeld, Darmstadt, Erlangen, Hannover and Tübingen taking part in this campaign. The concept of this campaign was that iGEM Teams from all over Germany design postcards with an important aspect of Synthetic Biology and Biotechnology combined with a catchy motif, and exchange them with all the other teams. Now having a large variety of different postcards, the teams distribute them to the public. The aim is to give non-scientists an understanding of Synthetic Biology, what this means, and in which parts of our life it is involved.</p>

Collaborations

Wet Lab Collaboration with the iGEM Team TU Darmstadt 2016

The iGEM team of TU Darmstadt developed a biosafety system that makes bacteria strains survive only at laboratory conditions. The idea is that they require a specific unnatural amino acid in the medium. In case the cells leave this environment, the bacterial genome is degraded by the DNase Colicin E2, leading to cell death and destruction of the genetic information. This system might impede accidental or deliberate release of GMOs and therefore tackles the problems of corporate espionage and ecological consequences of GMOs.

The DNase Colicin E2 consists of 3 domains: a cell export domain, a cell import domain and a DNase domain. The team of TU Darmstadt developed a minimalized version of this protein, containing only the DNase domain. This protein (mColWT), as well as a mutated version (mColmut; C266A), was put behind a T7 Promoter on the plasmid pSB1A3. After transformation of both constructs into E. coli TOP10 and BL21, Team Darmstadt observed a significantly lower colony count for mColWT than for mColmut on LB Agar supplemented with Ampicillin. In order to check if this apparent toxic effect of mColWT is also oberservable in other strains, we tested mColWT and mColmut via transformation in Shimwellia blattae (a strain we are using in our project) at our lab in Göttingen. Empty pSB1A3 was also transformed into S. blattae, in order to check if the plasmid is compatible with the strain.

All transformations were successful, but no significant difference in the colony count between mColWT (960 and 776 colonies; upper plates in figure 1) and mColmut (628 and 984 colonies; lower plates in figure 1) could be observed (Fig. 1).

Figure 1: Transformation of ColWT and Colmut in S. blattae plated on LB Agar supplemented with Ampicillin.

Old friends: Marieke from Team Göttingen and Patrick from Team TU Darmstadt (who also did his B.Sc. in Biochemistry at our university) working together in our lab in Göttingen.

Have a look on how Team Darmstad experienced our collaboration!

Human Practice Collaboration

Initialized by the iGEM Team from Düsseldorf, we had a nice human practice collaoration with the teams from Aachen, Bielefeld, Darmstadt, Erlangen, Hannover and Tübingen taking part in this campaign. The concept of this campaign was that iGEM Teams from all over Germany design postcards with an important aspect of Synthetic Biology and Biotechnology combined with a catchy motif, and exchange them with all the other teams. Now having a large variety of different postcards, the teams distribute them to the public. The aim is to give non-scientists an understanding of Synthetic Biology, what this means, and in which parts of our life it is involved.
