NRP UEA iGEM 2013

NRP UEA iGEM 2013 Team NRP-UEA-Norwich iGEM 2013 are developing a biosensor that will enable the identification of novel antimycin-producing strains of streptomycetes.

The international Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition provides teams of undergraduate students from across the world with a unique opportunity to represent their university in a new scientific area, Synthetic Biology Antibiotic resistance is a rapidly growing global problem and is being exacerbated by the failure to discover new antibiotics. Antimycins produced by streptomycetes are

active against various fungi through inhibition of the final stage of electron transport, and it has also been suggested that modified antimycins could be effective anti-cancer drugs. Building up a library of antimycin gene clusters will broaden known pathway (biosynthetic) diversity with the foresight of facilitating genetic engineering. In the long term, pathways could be engineered to create new variants of antimycin with unique or enhanced properties.
