Our approach focuses on ''E. coli'' strain MG1655 that will be modified to overexpress flagella, in an attempt to increase the force generation potential. We also want to be able to regulate the flow that is generated with a light sensor, that integrates into the chemotaxis pathway, giving us very fast response times. Finally for the photosensor to function properly we will need to introduce retinal biosynthesis to the system. In this way we can avoid altering the buffer solution flowing through the system, this though result in trace amounts of waste products from the cells metabolism.<br><br>
