UCSF iGEM 2005: Bacterial Thermometer

• Goal

Our goal is to build a genetic circuit that enables a lawn of bacteria to respond to a temperature gradient. Inspiration came in the form of those early 1990's T-shirts with the thermosensitive dye that change color that can record palm prints.

• Strategy

1. Determine the transfer function of a set of heat and cold shock promoters, where the input is temperature and the output is a steady-state (!) expression of green fluorescent protein (gfp).

2.
