Ideas from the first significant brainstorming session
Idea 1:
An arsenic sensing device that produces a change in Ph in the medium that the bacteria are in. This could be combined with a device that would allow an analogue signal to be produced based on the concentration of arsenic.
Idea 2:
Modelling of a biological clock:
This project would be about modelling the biological mechanisims that control the circadian clock in plants. Could we make something that could produce a signal every hour? Could we change one parameter and get a singal every 4 hours, or 2 days for example? There would be little or no actual assembly involved.
Idea 3:
A multiple input/output device. ex: 3 input chemicals, and a combination of the 3 inputs could produce up to 6 output states/products.
Idea 4:
Bacterial Canvas. Using a biofilm with a device from idea 3 to produce multiple colours depending on the inputs.
Idea 5:
Bacterial photosynthesis. Put coding into e-coli or yeast to make them photosynthesize.
Idea 6:
Bacterial assembly line/Artificial metabolic pathway. A bacteria could be configured to produce different products in stages to produce a product that can't be made by one process alone. A control system could be integrated to manage the system.
