“Escherichia coli” Bacteria Have Potential To Solve Mathematical Problems |
|
Science evolves every day and researchers found many things that can lead to a better future. Nowadays, science is so advanced that today we have thousands of PC models available in different sizes and performances. In this area recently a team of researchers found a new type of computer, bacterial computer, which is actually the DNA studies result on Escherichia coli bacteria, a new form of life which can solve mathematical problems (eg.Hamiltonian Path Problem).
The researchers team consists of four members and 15 students from biology and mathematics departments, at Missouri Western State University. They have managed to modify the genetically circuit of this bacteria, so the microoranisms can easily solve the Hamiltonian Path problem for a 3 nodes graph. This problem is not so complicated but this discovery could lead to creation of many applications in this field.
“Our research contributed more than 60 parts to the Registry of Standard Biological Parts, which are available for use by the larger synthetic biology community, including the newly split red fluorescent protein and green fluorescent protein genes… The research provides yet another example of how powerful and dynamic synthetic biology can be. We used synthetic biology to solve mathematical problems; others find applications in medicine, energy and the environment. Synthetic biology has great potential in the real world.” – says a recent graduate of Missouri Western, Jordan Baumgardner.
