University of Calgary 2007 Simplified Project Overview
E. coLisa Simplified Project Overview
 |
( 1 ) Each engineered cell (blue capsule) has genes (green box with arrow) for a light sensing protein (green oval) |
 |
( 2 ) The light sensor is activated by passing the beam from a laser pointer over the petri plate |
 |
( 3 ) The light sensor controls another gene (red box with arrow), for the protein agarase (red circles). Once activated by the laser pointer, the light sensor activates the agarase gene. |
 |
( 4 ) Agarase breaks down the jello-like matrix that the cells rest on. When many cells produce agarase a depression becomes visible on the petri plate. |
