Concept
The light in the morning leaking from a gap between the curtains... this morning lights calls and awakes the E. coli.
Suprise!!
The E. coli become bigger and bigger like BALLOON!!!
→World first bacteria that swells by lights.!!!
When growing...
The movement of the E. coli can be obvered with the naked eyes!
"Big" E. coli is easily sorted by FACS!
Make much more proteins/cell!
Design
First
The E. coli doesn't have photoreceptor. But...
We have Cph8(utwxas/uCSF;iGEM2005)in our hand
Second
The E. coli divides the cells by forming "partition". So...
'Expression of the enzyme in septem formation is knocked-down.
Third
E. coli rather "extend" due to the action of RodA. So...
We make inducible RodAmut.
Experiments
- We made inducible rodAmut.
- We made CI inverter and compared it.
