The main goal of our project is to make a frugal biofoundry capable of producing high quantities of enzymes and other proteins of interest. To do that, our team designed a library of parts in order to test in a high-throughput way the combinations that would generate the best results. For this year, the most important part generated by our team was the pHT43 plasmid (BBa_K4103000), an improvement on (BBa_K1074001) from 2013 - this plasmid acts as a shuttle vector between E. coli and B. subtilis, and allows the efficient production and secretion of our protein-of-interest, with our team focusing efforts to use this vector for the production of Pfu-Sso7d Polymerase (BBa_K4103011) codon optimized for B. Subtilis using the software created by our team.
