A Brief Introduction of our project

      In previous studies , membranous organelles are the unique structure of eukaryotic cells, and in rare bacteria and paleontology . So Magnetospirillum magneticumis considered to be important biological model systems of studying prokaryotic organelles because the structure of magnetosome in Magnetospirillum magneticum has similar traits toeukaryotic organelles with membranes . And our task is to reconstruct themagnetosome membrane in Escherichia coli , in the meantime we offer intracellular membranous structure part that can be used by prokaryotes for synthetic biology .

      And also , as the mamK gene is critical for the cavity construction , we artificialy improve the mamK gene's expression by stabilize its mRNA with a new method , hoping it can be used to promoting the cavity construction .

Our goals. :

      Firstly : We are eager to use the cavity as a intracellular microreactor . And we also hope use it in enzymes enrichment .

      Secondly : we want to complete the production of bio-synthetic nanoscale iron .
