Application (English)
The sensor system of choice will be applied in a lot of contexts. The main focus is the detection of capsaicin, which is responsible for the spiciness of food. The final construct could consist of immobilized bacteria on a test stick. Such an application could be used everywhere, easy and quick to determine the spiciness. Moreover the final modified bacterial sensor system could be part of the production process of foods.
The project will be a proof of concept for directed mutagenesis of receptor molecules. Additional the modified sensor system could be used in the field of medical science secondary to the application in gastronomy. Furthermore there would be a possible application for the environmental protection as well, because there is a broad range of phenolic toxines in the enviroment. The system might be trained on these substances by using our directed evolution method.
Anwendungen des Projekts (German)
Das von uns gestaltete Sensorsystem kann in einem breiten Spektrum genutzt werden. Das Hauptziel ist die Sensorik von Schärfe im Essen. Eine finale Anwendung könnte durch immobilisierte Bakterien auf einem Teststreifen erfolgen. Dieser kann schnell und unkompliziert die Schärfe im Essen bestimmen. Des Weiteren wäre eine Anwendung direkt in der Produktion von Speisen möglich.
Das Projekt dient als proof of concept für eine gerichtete Evolution und kann, bei Erfolg, auf weitere Rezeptormoleküle im bakteriellen Bereich angewendet werden. Neben dem gastronomischen Einsatzgebiet bietet das veränderte Sensor System daher die Möglichkeit in medizinischen Applikation (Dopamin und Derivate) oder umwelttechnischen Fragen zum Einsatz zukommen. In der Natur kommen es viele phenolische Umweltgifte vor, auf die unser System trainiert werden könnte.
