I am excited to develop our bee project and beeing part of the iGEM community. I enjoy learning about other countries and traditions so that is why I was a Rotary Youth Exchange student in Brazil 5 years ago. I love traveling, Shakira’s old songs, rainy days and FOOD. My first laboratory experiment consisted in creating José Pablo Rascón Pérez, a Palm tree who makes photosynthesis.

Abstract

American and European Foulbrood are diseases affecting honey bee (Apis mellifera) larvae all around the world. The causal agents of these are two gram-positive bacteria: Paenibacillus larvae and Melissococcus plutonius. Nowadays, two techniques for the treatment of AFB and EFB are used: antibiotics and incineration of affected hives. The former promotes the development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria while the latter results unprofitable for beekeepers. The production of native bee antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in Escherichia coli is proposed to treat P. larvae and M. plutonius infections. Defensin 1, abaecin, defensin 2, and apidaecin will each be expressed in a different culture. A 2⁴ factorial design will be used to identify the optimal AMP combination. The final product, AMPs with a specific packaging, will be available for beekeepers to apply in their beehives and inhibit the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria.
