Bacterial Relay Race

The Pennsylvania State University iGEM 2005

Our Idea

Bacterial “Relay Race”

-> 1. A motile bacteria [B1] moves along a microchannel producing a diffusible 
quorum signal
-> 2. When it encounters a second immotile bacteria [B2], the quorum signal 
turns on a switch controlling the latter’s motility
-> 3. Concurrently switching off its own motility, [B1], while starting the
motility of the second bacteria [B2].
