DISColi: Bio-photolithography in Device Engineering Using Different Wavelengths of Light
|
The DISColi project aims to design and construct a novel bio-photolithographic system for the engineering of biofilms into functional 2D and 3D structures and devices in response to different patterns and wavelengths of light In this project we worked with light responsive promoters, a novel biofilm-forming synthetic biology chassis, E. coli Nissle 1917, and novel biobricks including several designed for biofilm dispersal and fluorescent reporters with wider utility than GFP. |
|
|
The main aims of our project can be separated into three light-controlled components: the designed sculpting of biofilms; 3D printing for encapsulation of cells; and the controlled modular synthesis of a variety of products. |

Highlights!
In the course of our project we have created many noteworthy biobricks and have made a series of very interesting discoveries. Here are our personal highlights, including our favourite biobricks, our new chassis, and our public presence. Have a look!
E.coli Nissle 1917
- our new transformable, non-pathogenic, biofilm-forming chassisSponsors
With many thanks to our generous sponsors, without whom this project would not have been possible.
