=== technical description === | |||
<blockquote>The concept of the game is based on the ability of some harmless wildtype bacteria to swim in soft media. Swimming enables the microbes to consume further nutrients if those in their vicinity are already consumed. All bacteria try to get away from the starting point as fast as possible to access fresh media. This mechanism can be employed for a game setup. Selection and culturing of best swimmers leads to propagation of ideal swimming characteristics. That is, why training may help gain a competitive edge. Those bacteria can easily be stored in the fridge with the supplied materials without any risk. | |||
The showdown competition is run by synthetic bacteria. Predators and prey communicate and regulate each other's density. Via molecular signals, the predator cells kill the prey while living prey rescues predators. The diverse and colorful crowd surrounding the spectacle was genetically engineered to carry different pigments which has been appreciated at the iGEM competition 2009.</blockquote> | |||

=== Phrases === | |||
* for game advertisement (shop announcement, browser elements): | |||
** Play the Bacteria Game and join the E. coli Trainer Club! | |||
** New add-on sets (latest expansion) deliver powerful tools to train your bacteria. | |||
** Completely customize your arena with those bricks! | |||
** Use special conditions to help make your E. coli dominate in battle. | |||
** Your bacteria will need a lot of drills and exercises that may help gain a competitive edge. | |||
== Concerns == | |||
* announced match in Boston will never ever work, moreover: it is after the wiki freeze | |||
* what's about a cool logo (compared to pokemon)? | |||
* notebook for experiments will be created (rough sketch) should be accessible on the iGEM Wiki later on (including citations and stuff) | |||
