We believe science is everywhere in society and it is a part of each person’s everyday life. For most people with no science background, synthetic biology seems to be a very difficult topic for them. In order to let them have better understanding about synthetic biology, we made an interesting cartoon video to attract their attention. We resembled our project into a starwars-like world. The tiny body of bacteria is a planet and a bacterial microcompartment (MCP) is a flagship. Various form of metabolism happened inside the MCP and the enzymes were the workers in the flagship. The inorganic phosphates were the enemies, harming the environment. Our General PPK1 linked all the inorganic phosphates into polymers which were jailed in MCP. In this way, all the harmful inorganic phosphates were removed from the environment and we won the battle. This video provides a simple introduction to both iGEM and E.capsi, the 2013 iGEM project of the University of Hong Kong. E.capsi is the genetically modified E.coli that can absorb inorganic phosphate from the environment and produce poly-phosphate. It functions with an important section - the Eut microcompartment.
