ETHZ Basel project goal is to control E. coli movements (chemotaxis)
+
-
by means of light. In fact, we will change the chemotaxis pathway
+
-
either by substituting the receptor with a light-sensitive one or by
+
-
interfering with the kinase-phosphatase process with proteins whose
+
-
binding and unbinding can be stimulated by pulses of light. In both
+
-
ways, E. coli tumbling is induced or removed just by pressing a light
+
-
switch and, as a consequence, a bacterium can be "driven" to a
+
-
precise, pre-fixed point. Tumbling / directed flagellar movement rates are supervised by image processing algorithms, which are linked to the light-pulse generator. This system enables to control single E.coli cells to move like mindless "Lemmings" in the direction they are forced to go.

This years ETHZ Basel project goal is to control E.coli chemotaxis by hijacking and perturbing the tumbling / directed flagellar movement apparatus. By coupling directed flagellar movement regulating proteins to a light-sensitive spatial localization system, their activity can be controlled reversibly. A light-sensitive dimerizing complex fused to this regulating proteins and a spatial fixed location is induced by light pulses and therefore localization of the two molecules can be manipulated.  --->
