The projects
Regulation of Bacterial Chemotaxis
- Use two attractants whose receptors are inducible (serine with Tar, aspartate with Tsr). These define two orthogonal axes. Use a default attractant along a diagonal to establish '-' movement.
Synchronization of bacterial cell cycles
- Synchronization of bacterial cell cycles. Use a cell cycle-dependent promoter to drive a LuxI-LuxR based cell-cell signal. Use regulation of replication initiator DnaA to modulate cell cycle in receiver cells.
Monitoring long-term effects of UV exposure
- Analysis of stress responses in biofilms. Connect stress response system to a lac based bistable GFP reporter. This allows transient expression at a stress-response promoter to trigger persistent expression of GFP.
