Our project consists of 3 devices:
Self-lysis
Vesicle Buster
Payload

Self-lysis
Although the self-lysis device constructed by the 2008 UC Berkeley iGEM functioned well, we had unique challenges to overcome that required several modifications. The self-lysis device must be an inducible system under the control of an exogenous molecule in order to prevent pre-mature self-lysis. Since the bacteria must lyse itself after it is ingested by the choanoflagellate, but before it is digested, the self-lysis device must also occur quickly and with proper timing.
