[DIYbio] Creating synthetic organelles

A few days ago I had an idea when I was searching about chloroplasts (and how people use the PEG i have to put them into plants :). Here it is-


Would it be possible to insert modified E coli that exported the protein for resistance to chloramphenicol, therefore making the E coli like a big BAC? Or would this take too much energy from the yeast? (Currently I don't work with yeast)

Once inside I also had the idea for a yeast plasmid to hold bacteriophage polymerase (for creating it) and then would export the bacteriophage RNA polymerase to nearby E coli cells which would intake the polymerase, and begin expressing a certain gene, or completing a task that could perhaps escaping the cell (any ideas here?) and releasing a virus to target yeast while another bacteria on the inside of the cell, that was triggered from the SAME polymerase (kind of like the lambda lytic and lysogenic operons) that conferred to resistance to that virus by perhaps... (any ideas here?). Although this is one example, I think there are many things that the "worker" cells could do for the yeast.

Anyone have any input?
