Overview: The blue light producer

The construction of a blue light producer will require the combination of luxAB with an extra protein called lumazine (lumP). This will shift the wavelength of the bacterial luciferase towards the blue spectrum, giving us a light which can activate our blue light sensor. Last year's Edinburgh team already made this part so we are hoping to be able to test and characterise it soon.
