Description
C16 is a competent signaling peptide that uniquely belongs to Streptococcus Mutants, which is the dominant pathogen in our mouth. The Streptococcus Mutants often use C16 as a finger-print to recognize each other, and also a C16 can bind to the surface receptor of Streptococcus Mutants.
Therefore, we use an anchor protein to grab C16 on our E.coli surface, in the hope of attaching our E.coli to the Streptococcus pathogens.

We derive our C16 peptide from the genome of Streptococcus Mutants UA159.
