I'd like your input on them. For now, we're discussing distributing kits that have:
-Lactobacillus streak or stab
-premade plasmid to transform (or empty vector if you choose)
-a few plates for a couple tries at recovery
Now, with Lacto, you'll need an electroporator for now. But if some enterprising enthusiast can figure out a chemical transformation procedure, that'd be most rad (we'll be trying some stuff).
We'll be thinking about some of the plasmids we can make and offer, including some your excellent suggestions here.
It took a while to get here- this is a new thing for us, and we're trying to get there as fast as we can. (clearly not professional marketing people here...) We appreciate your patience!
Please share if you like it! http://igg.me/at/yovivo
Best,
Rich

Hi Andreas,I certainly hope that it helps, at the very least, create some constructive dialogue and perhaps open some previously closed minds.I want to see realized the potential of this for enabling the poor to make their own meds, meds that are not being produced for the usual economic reasons. I hope that that is something most people can consider a worthy goal, despite the large amount of work it will take to get there safely.As for promoters, we're planning on using native constiutive/strong Lactobacillus promoters, might as well stay food-grade an not go heterologous. We're also using only genes from red grapes. Addresses the potential "allergy" issue of using insect (or other foreign) proteins.A humble request:If you guys like what you see, please follow/tweet about us @yivivoyogurt and like our page on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/yovivoyogurt ? WE're in the early stages of our campaign and could really use the early momentum and support! (Contributions would be awesome, too! I'm working on the live/kit thing ASAP!)Thanks all! I really appreciating the genuine psyche and interest in DIYbio. Hope to keep the conversation going.Rich

Then they have to choose. And even the most (pseudo-)environmentalist wants to live a longer healthier life...
So, many people will choose GMO if it brings health benefits (instead of making it insecticide producing)[...]
