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 forthe cavity construction ,we artificialy improve the mamK gene's expression bystabilize its mRNA with a new method, hoping it can be used to promoting the cavity construction.

Our goals.

      Firstly:Use the cavity as a intracellular microreactor.

      Secondly:Use the cavity as a intracellular microreactor.
