Description: On Wednesday, 22 April 2009, Professor Ichiro Matsumura from Emory University presented a lunchtime talk about using Acinetobacter ADP1 as a Synthetic Biology chassis:nnAbstract:nSynthetic biologists generally build upon the Escherichia coli chassis, which usually necessitates a life of cloning. Acinetobacter baylyi sp. ADP1 offers two significant advantages over E. coli: natural competence, and efficient homologous recombination. I will explain how these natural advantages obviate cloning and s
