This is a dynamo: But if we want to make this out of bacteria, where are we going to find magnets? Looks like we’re going to have to ask our good friend... http://www.houseofcuss.com/hocvault/thepipe/archives/2005_09.shtml Bacterial Dynamo MAGNETOSPIRILLUM SP. AMB-1! http://magnum.mpi-bremen.de/magneto/research/index.html Spinning Tethered Bacteria QuickTime™ and a MPEG-4 Video decompressor are needed to see this picture. Bacterial Dynamo Bacterial flagellar proteins are easy to modify. If a flagella sticks to a surface, it will cause the cell body to spin. Some bacteria grow chains of nano-sized magnets in their cell bodies. A spinning magnet field will induce a voltage in a coil. If we engineer the flagella of magnetic bacteria to stick to a surface above a coil, we can get a dynamo powered by flagellar motors. This concept has been proven before by sticking magnetic bacteria to coils with anti-flagellin antibodies and the system fell apart after a few hours (days?). If we genetically engineer the bacteria to produce a flagellin protein that sticks to an easily patterned surface, the system will ‘self-assemble’ and could continue indefinitely. Bacterial Dynamo Making ‘sticky’ flagella Find protein which binds to hard-baked S-1813 positive photoresist by screen ~10^8 12-aa random peptides expre ssed on flagellar exterior to see which bind to photoresist. Cut out amb0684, AMB-1 flagellin gene, split it in two, splice in the sticky gene with thioredoxin structure. Put it back into AMB-1, get STICKY MAGNETIC BACTERIA. Making the dynamo Fabricate a little coil for magnetic bacteria to grow on, seal it with positive photoresist so the bacteria will stick. More details at poster. Coil Conclusions Our coil is completed, we isolated a ‘sticky’ peptide, and are currently working on PCRing out the AMB-1 flagellin gene. Possible applications of this project include ‘natural’ batteries and, since research is being conducted in using bacteria to convert the chemical energy of many different sources (contaminants, pollution, nuclear waste) into energy the bacteria can use, this dynamo could possibly be engineered to convert almost anything as fuel Duke iGEM 2006 Conclusions Testing and characterization of multiple bacteria small molecule communication systems. Modeling and construction of two synthetic artificial ecosystems in bacteria: X-Verter a three stage population level oscillator and Predator Prey a two stage two population oscillator. Created an open source gene circuit IDE called Biobrick Manager. Creation and characterization in a mammalian system of a DNA and light “alphabet” for Human Encryption. Future uses include national security and health detection applications Development of a working bacteria circuit that causes the bacteria to selfdestruct when outside the cancer environment for the Cancer Stickybots project and system modeling. Evolving E coli bacteria to stick to positive photoresist and micromachining of an apparatus for future use as a Bacterial Dynamo: magnetic bacteria that spin above a coil and produce electricity via Faraday’s law.
