We control the movement of a single genetically modified <i>E. coli</i> bacterium by hijacking chemotaxis. Position and direction of the bacterium is monitored by image processing algorithms, which are linked to a controller device. Find out more about our motivation and project idea!</p> |

Find out, how this supported wet laboratory experiments by providing time and effort alleviating network structure and experimental design selection. In addition, the combined model was a perfect test bench for information processing.</p> |
