Food, water, our favorite series, books, your computer. Maybe you will also need some medicines, vitamins, insulin… All those substances are necessary, but they take to much space, they are hard to conserve, its production is expensive and they are limited.
The objective of our project is to be able to produce these protein compounds in a simple and cheap way and occupying the least possible space. To do this, we will create a plasmid of interest using Golden Braid 2.0 technology and use synthetic biology to modify Nicotiana benthamiana plants through Agrobacterium tumefaciens bacteria so that they produce a protein of interest that can be easily purified.
In parallel, we will demonstrate that the presence of volatile compounds produced by fungi considerably increases the production of starch in plants. In our case, we will use the Alternaria alternata fungus in the presence of Arabidopsis thaliana, although the conclusions can be applied to the rest of the plants. Thanks to our project it will be possible the constant production of proteins in rockets sent to space and space stations, thus facilitating life in these places.

Did your team make a lot of great parts? Is there a theme that ties all your parts together? Do you have more than 10 parts in this collection? Did you make a CRISPR collection, a MoClo collection, or a collection of awesome pigment parts? Describe your parts collection on this page, so the judges can evaluate you for the Best Part Collection award.
While you should put all the characterization information for your parts on the Registry, you are encouraged to explain how all your parts form a collection on this page.
This page should list all the parts in the collection your team made during your project and include direct links to your Parts main pages on the Registry. You must add all characterization information for your parts on Parts Main Page on the Registry. You should not put characterization information on this page.
To be eligible for this award, each part in the collection must be well documented on the part's Main Page on the Registry. If you have a collection of parts you wish to nominate your team for this special prize, make sure you add your part numbers to your judging form and delete the alert box at the top of this page.
