1. Nutrient

Using a glucose and starch concentration gradient. Uses the catabolic repression system to allow glue production. Have to test and find suitable starch and chemoattractant!!!!!!!!

2. Sporulation, germination and secretion control

AbrB gene maybe a suitable gene to repress sporulation by overexpressing it. Can also activate antimicrobial peptides like TasA. Immune the concrete from future attack by concrete destroying bacteria?
