**There are not many BioBricks in the iGEM registry on bacterial lysis. There is a lot of data on lysis by Richard on the wiki. WE should start looking up for ftsZ and SOS system for lysis and a BioBrick can be made early based on this and can be characterized. Need to look up on ftsZ paper. Bacterial Time Bomb.
