Regulation of the pump will be introduced through a synthetic photo-sensing protein that has recently been shown to integrate with the ''E. coli'' chemotaxis system [http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/bi034399q]. Since the chemotaxis system regulates flagellar behaviour, we hope to introduce control of the amount of flow generated with very fast response times since chemotaxis is controlled by phosphorylation cascades rather than transcriptional regulation. Although the cells will be held in place in our system, the part will in effect introduce a phototactic ability to free-moving ''E. coli''.
