Biosynthesis of butanol biofuel by a synthetic metabolic pathway in E. coli
We have designed a system in E. coli capable of manufacturing and secreting melanin that is red-light inducible. This biological machine is built from two standard biological parts, a melanin generator and a light-inducible plasmid.
