Schematical overview of the devices and change upon light pulse induction. LSP refers to light switch protein, AP to anchor protein, anchor to the plasmid anchor and Che to the attacked protein of the chemotaxis pathway.
Project overview of E. lemming. The core idea of E. lemming is to control chemotaxis of E. coli by means of light! We'll realize this by hijacking and perturbing the tumbling / directed movement apparatus. By coupling proteins of the chemotaxis pathway to a synthetic light-sensitive spatial localization system, their activity can be controlled reversibly.
