Communication Unit
Our Aim
Our aim is to make bacteria stick around a bacteria core.
Make a sender, a bacteria core that sends a signal, and a receiver, a bacteria that receive a signal.
Our system works like this: Sender core, which is sticking each other in advance, sends a signal to receivers, which grow stickey tags.
Then they stick together. We use Quorum sensing as a signal.
About Quorum Sensing
Quorum sensing is a cell-to-cell signaling action of bacteria. They detect the cell density of the same species and coordinate the expression behavior of their cells. Species of Gram-Negativfe signaling transfer molecule (autoinducer) is acyl homoserine lactone (AHL). When the AHL concentration exceeded the threshold, the cell population is over a certain number, the AHL induced promoter plux transcription is activated.
Detail geneticaly circuit discribed in Fig2.
クオラムセンシングとは，バクテリアが細胞間で行うシグナル伝達のシステムである．自分と同種の菌の生息密度を感知して、それに応じて物質の産生をコントロールする．情報伝達に使用している化合物（オートインデューサー）はグラム陰性菌の場合AHLである．AHLの濃度がある値以上になる，すなわち細胞密度がある値を超えるとAHL依存性プロモータ（LuxP）のスイッチがオンになり，遺伝子が発現される．
詳しい遺伝子回路は図に示す通り．

futureでLuxIもスイッチできた方が魅力的だと思うんだ。∵ReceiverにSenderを混ぜるのではなく，初めからReceiverとSenderを混ぜた状態で凝集させることができる。ex.)Photoswitch etc... by tashiro
