| - | + | '''''Project''''' | |
| + | This project aims to use light to form a solid fluorescent mass of E. coli where two light beams intersect in a suspension of cells. We've called our building system "Coliforming". | ||
| - | |||
| + | '''''Motivation''''' | ||
| + | Possible applications in building complex scaffolds in tissue engineering. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | '''''Requirements''''' | ||
| + | The system requires six biological components. | ||
| + | # Red photosensor | ||
| + | # Blue photosensor | ||
| + | # AND gate | ||
| + | # GFP fluorescent reporter | ||
| + | # Promotable surface expression of cadherins | ||
| + | # Gas vesicle expression to produce neutrally bouyant bacteria | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | '''''High Level System Design''''' | ||
| + | * Induce or constitutively express gas vesicles for neutral bouyancy | ||
| + | * If Red & Blue light detected, then promote adhesion molecules. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | '''''Achievements''''' | ||
| + | * Produced bouyant bacteria biobrick.[[Melbourne/Lab GV Notebook|(Have a look)]] | ||
| + | * Produced parts of other biological components required. | ||
