| - | The bacteria Deinococcus radiodurans caught our attention because its resistance to ionizing radiation,
| |
| - | UV radiation, oxidative stress, and desiccation. This resistance is due to its capability to repair its DNA
| |
| - | after being exposed to these conditions. Other IGEM teams have done experiments to validate
| |
| - | the claims about Deinococcus radiodurands' DNA repair capabilities.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | The first part of our project consists in replicating and validating two of their experiments. We will take
| |
| - | some of Deinococcus radiodurans genes that previous teams used, in addition to a new gene that has not been used and insert them into E. coli. Then, we will expose the transformed E. coli to oxidative stress(hydrogen peroxide) and salt stress (NaCl).

| |
| - | The second part of our project will be our own and original contribution to IGEM. We will use an Arizona endemic species of Deinococcus, Deinococcus hopiensis. This species has not been study as much as Deinococcus Radiodurans because it is a newly discovered bacterium. Since Hopiensis and Radiodurans belong to the same genus, we want to know if D. hopiensis will give E. coli the same DNA repair capabilities that D. radiodurans does. So, we are going to find and extract genes from D. hopiensis that are homolog or have similar functions to those we previously extracted from Radiodurans. We will insert them into E. coli and exposed the transformed E. coli to oxidative and salt stress.
