Project Description
Our project seeks to create two identical triads of transparent bacteria strains with complementary hydrophobic inducer production to emulate the game of "rock, paper, scissors" (Hydrophobic proteins can move through plasma membranes). Each triad will correspond to a group: group A and group B. Each type of bacteria will produce a specific protein that will act as an inducer to one and only one other bacteria strain(rock strain, paper strain, and scissors strain). Each triad will have different reporter genes designating its champion color. When two bacteria strains are combined in an agar plate, each protein secreted by the victorious strain, when acting as an inducer, changes the color of the cells on the plate identifying the champion. We developed our paper protocol, rock protocol, and scissors protocol before we began our project.
