| + | The system requires six biological components. | ||
| + | # Red photosensor | ||
| + | # Blue photosensor | ||
| + | # AND gate | ||
| + | # GFP fluorescent reporter | ||
| + | # Promotable surface expression of cadherins | ||

| + | '''''High Level System Design''''' | ||
| + | * Induce or constitutively express gas vesicles for neutral bouyancy | ||
| + | * If (Induced & Red & Blue) then promote integrins, otherwise do not. | ||
