Our project focused on the delivery of payloads to the cytoplasms of choanoflagellates, but its simple design makes it applicable to a host of other eukaryotes. Our design is only limited in three main aspects as to its potential targets:

  • The target organism must be able to naturally phagoctyose Escheria Coli.
  • The target organism's phagocytic vesicles must contain cholesterols susceptible to our Vesicle-Buster device.
  • The target organism must be able to survive in media that is compatible with our Self-Lysis device.
