Team:SUSTC-Shenzhen-A/Project

Most people might have heard a classic model called
prisoners’ dilemma .It is the inspiration of our project .
The prisoners’dilemma is a special “game”between two
arrested prisoners . What the story tells about is that
two suspects were caught by the police and they were
questioned in two separated rooms . Because of the lack
of evidence , the police could not convict them of the crime.
Then ,the police offered them a deal .
the sentence that each receives depends both on their own
decisions whether to confess or remain the silent and on the
decision made by the other.

This case is always used to state that the best choice for
the individual is not the best choice for the whole team .
Our idea is that we could import two different constructed
plasmid into the Ecoli, then we could simulate the
prisoners’dilemma by adding different chemicalsubstance
which could regulate the expression of the gene when
culturing . The growth situations of the two bacteria
are the results of their “choices”.
