Introduction

Project overview of E. lemming. The core idea of E. lemming is to control chemotaxis of E. coli by means of light! We'll realize this by hijacking and perturbing the tumbling / directed movement apparatus. By coupling proteins of the chemotaxis pathway to a synthetic light-sensitive spatial localization system, their activity can be controlled reversibly.
