From August the biohackers have been working with them to develop a 'public biobrick' (ie. one developed outside of the traditional university or research lab). This biobrick contains antifreeze from the marine bacteria Oceanibulbus Indolifex in a plasmid backbone called PSB1C3 [http://partsregistry.org/Part:pSB1C3] which contains choloramphenical resistance gene. | ||
