the bacterial uv toggle
Collins, 2000).
The 2010 MIT iGEM team saw that it was good, and decided to implement the Collins toggle in E.coli to create cells with bistable phenotypes. The team planned for the toggle to control fluorescence and phage polymerization. At first there was a pattern of fluorescence induced by UV exposure -- the first image.


Then the team said let's make the signal amplify itself, and make a movie to see its propogation. And it was so.

Here we see cells controlled by the Low Power Toggle. The cells fluoresce red with UV induction, but at higher UV levels cell death can be seen in the green field.
