 Regulation of gene expression by light is a milestone in synthetic biology. This rapidly developing field has attracted lots of attention in the recent years. Light regulation introduces noninvasive, direct and advanced spatiotemporal control of engineered biological systems. The aim of this project is a continuation of developing the above mentioned regulation method.In 2005, the world’s first light-sensing bacteria, “coliroids”, were engineered by scientists at UT Austin.
