This year the Biosint Mexico team will develope a smart probiotic. Throughout the competition several projects about probiotics have been present, nevertheless the main disadvantage was that most of them were not being created in a lactobacillus strain. Because of this we constructed a Lactobacillus platform for others iGEM teams. Continuing with the idea of the smart probiotic system we include a sensor for xenobiotic substances that can detect and decrease intoxications by pesticides. Also the team implemented a kill switch for safety issues. This project contributes to resolve one of the largest Mexican food and health problems.
