Phototaxis:
Progress report: We have detected the Cambridge part BBa_K274210 (Beta-carotene generator) in some of our cells. This is a big step towards function of our retinal generator, as the enzyme we hope to express uses beta-carotene as substrate. Our next step in this process will be to demonstrate the pressence of beta-carotene in our cells through experiments, while we wait for cDNA from the drosophila database.
In regards to the photosensor we have contacted melbourne about the strains, since we're still not getting through to Spudich lab. They have responded, and are trying to help us get hold of the strain.
