MerSe, by producing selenomelanin that enables radioactive protection for the beneficial microbes to accelerate the biomanufacturing industry in space.
NCKU_Tainan saw the potential of synthetic biology in space. We want to protect the fundamental component of biotechnology, bacteria, from cosmic radiations to utilize its various applications to improve people's lives there.
Our team has engineered a kind of E. coli, Se coli, that can protect itself from harmful space radiations by producing selenomelanin. This allows it to survive space travels. Now, we can use synthetic biology to solve our problems in space!
To sum up, Se coli can can create a better life for mankind in space, let's go to the infinity and beyond!
