== Idea ==
+
-
The core idea of our project is to control chemotaxis of ''E. coli'' by means of light! We'll realize this by hijacking and perturbing the tumbling / directed flagellar movement apparatus. By coupling directed flagellar movement regulating proteins to a '''novel synthetic light-sensitive spatial localization system''', their activity can be controlled reversibly. A light-sensitive dimerizing complex fused to this regulating proteins at a spatially fixed location is induced by light pulses and therefore localization of the two molecules can be manipulated.  Tumbling / directed flagellar movement rates are monitored by image processing algorithms, which are linked to the light-pulse generator. This means that ''E. coli'' tumbling is induced or suppressed simply by pressing a light switch! This synthetic network enables control of single E. coli cells: '''We'll make them move like mindless "Lemmings"''' in the direction they are forced to go!
