The 2011 UCSF iGEM Team Characterized this part by expressing it on the surface of yeast. You can see more information on our wiki page: [http://2011.igem.org/Team:UCSF/MGFP5 Mgfp-5 Characterization]

Our results show conclusive evidence that mgfp-5-expressing yeast “cluster”, form clumps of cells that grow on and around on another, more often and to a much larger degree than non-mgfp-5-expressing yeast. We hope that this could be used to create a biomaterial or a bioadhesive that could be natural and biodegradable.

















Figure 1:
Control, non-induced mgfp- 5 yeast. Dispersed, no major clustering.









Figure 2:
Experiment, induced mgfp- 5 yeast. 3-D cluster of yeast cells growing around and on top of other cells.
