<p>The unique properties of silk have provided it with a utility that goes far beyond that of any other natural fibers known to man. Its amazing mechanical properties, 'silky smooth' softness, and bio-compatibility, has led to applications ranging from from simple clothing to high tech biomedical devices.</p>

The industry from which silk is obtained, however, is less than ideal. Scientists have therefore begun to design silk-producing micro-organisms. The 2012 iGEM team from Utah have indeed successfully designed BioBricks for this very purpose. However, these micro-organisms remain inadequate in the secretion of silk, which is a major limiting factor on the range of potential biosynthetic designs and applications.

Our goal is to solve the secretion issue and to use it for the formation of a silk biofilm. The beauty of such a biofilm can be attributed to the properties of silk, and to the fact that any imaginable shape of seamless silk could be created since the biofilm grows in such a way as to fit its mold. We will be exploiting these properties to coat biomedical prosthetic devices, with the goal to prevent infections, and hence to prevent the required operations in dealing with such infections.

Team:Groningen/Templates/faceboo


Project

Our main goal is to coat medical implants with silk, produced in Bacillus subtilis. Silk is proven to reduce the risk of complications and enhance cell growth.

Achievements

Our track towards the gold medal.

Gallery

View the pictures we took throughout our project, and get a taste of the ambiance in our lab.

Team

Get to know the awesome members that make up our team.

Labjournal

Some information about our daily business in and outside our lab.

Outreach

Look at what we did to promote iGEM and the fantastic world of synthetic biology.
