        In an island state such as Taiwan or Japan, the aquaculture is an important industry. However, the Vibrio-related
+
−
        infection of aquatic animal has been a critical threat for a long time.The Vibrio-related infection leads to
+
−
        inestimable financial damage in Taiwan and Japan, thus, exerting huge impact on the global fishery market.

−
        Traditionally, in order to solve the problem of Vibrio infection, the fisherman add antibiotics into the fishpond
+
−
        directly. But in this way, the abuse of antibiotics will lead to irreversible harm to the Mother Nature.

        Our goal this year is to design a system which based on the model of succession. Our engineered E. coli will detect
+
−
        the chemicals secreted by Vibrio which is called AHL, then it triggers our engineered bacteria LUX system to produce
+
−
        an antimicrobial peptide called colicin which is able to kill Vibrio.
+
−
        <br><br>
+
−
        When the concentration of Vibrio decreases, the LUX system shuts down and triggers the expression of the suicide gene
+
−
        Gp2. Moreover, the regulation system is STAR/ anti – STAR system. Thus, it causes the death of our engineered bacteria
+
−
        and finally causes the increase of Vibrio concentration. In this way, our engineered bacteria coexist with the Vibrio
+
−
        and control the population. Therefore, we can control the Vibrio population and avoid fish and shrimp infection.
