Session 9

1. Bacterial eye

• The moment bacteria get a signal, they become fixed at this point
• Coliroid – In the registry, mechanism that makes a “photo”
• Negative activation is better (repression is better than induction)
• Pigment degradation? Not needed if it’s just a one time thing

Vote: Yes (10/13)

2. pH Sensor

• pH sensitive GFT which has different wavelengths at different pH, now used to measure intracellular pH
• Perhaps make this exported to the extracellular?
• Not sure which pH range it uses?
• pH indicators?

Vote: No (6/13)

3. Plastic Soup

• Plastic degradation for cleaning of the oceans

Vote: No (0/13)
