Introduction
Cadmium Phenol Lead Nitrite PCB Spongia officinalis
Introduction
Spongia officinalis Filtrates 20 000 L of water/day/kg Pseudovibrio denitrificans Combine the sponge filtration capacity and its microbiome to detect toxic compounds Epibiosis
Are you allowed to modify my DNA ?
Introduction
Spongia officinalis Filtrates 20 000 L of water/day/kg Pseudovibrio denitrificans
Pseudovibrio is the main genus present in sponge microbiome Pseudovibrio denitrificans naturally has a denitrifying metabolism
Epibiosis
Introduction
Oh ok ! Not me !
Spongia officinalis Pseudovibrio denitrificans Should our sponge be considered as a GMO ?
Is modifying my microbiome any different than modifying my DNA ?
≠ GMO GMMO
Policy and practices
Epibiosis: a biological containment?
- Lack of competitivity
- Strict Epibiosis
- Physical containment
Is it contagious ? Much better !
Policy and practices
Engineering biology Unexpected results Klumsy Lame Ugly Dumb but Good Enough
Are you going to kludge me ?
Policy and practices
- Genome assembly of P.denitrificans
- Transcriptomic analysis
- Sponge physiology model
Our goal : Engineering approach
Policy and practices
Are you going to kludge me ?
Main problems :
- Complexity of sponge shape
- Variability of sponge characteristics
(number of ostia, oscula)
- Bacteria location
Concentration of compound in contact with the sponge microbiome Ostia (in) Oscula (out)
Virtual Sponge
Result Geometry
Compound accumulation caused by geometry
