Project Description
- This year Biosint Mexico team will develop a smart probiotic. Along the competition have been presented several projects about probiotics, nevertheless the main disadvantage is that most of them were not being created in a Lactobacillus strain. Because of this we will construct a Lactobacillus platform for others iGEM teams.
Continuing with the idea of the smart probiotic system we will also include a sensor for xenobiotic substances that will detect and decrease intoxications by pesticides. This project contributes to resolve one of the health problems in the Mexican camp.
