CAU-China # My Si-lium # In 2023, CAU China embarked on a purely biological manufacturing journey, drawing inspiration from mycilum and diatoms, and introduced a groundbreaking biotic material to the world, which we named ‘My Si-lium’. Our project comprises three phases. First, quorum sensing expressed the SulA gene, elongating bacterial monomers via filamentation. Next, Spytag was positioned on flagellar L-rings using FlgH, while SpyCatcher was displayed via Wza. Spytag was captured by SpyCatcher, cross-linking bacterial cells into a regular 3D network structure. ...
