| - | Tokyo_tech2013 joined an “experiment workshop” for high school students and collected questionnaires from public people as human practice. (Fig.1) Now we know that an interesting story makes general people easily understand importance of programming of genetic circuits in synthetic biology. (Fig.2) To respond to the public's expectations further, we also look to address a farming issue. Thus we made this story, <b>the life of the ninja: battle and farming</b>.

| - | In our programing of artificial genetic circuit, E. ninja heads the cast. In response to E. civilian signal or E. samurai signal, E. ninja changes its state: “mimic state” and “attack state”. The circuit of E. ninja contains a bi-stable switch and a signal dependent switching part. We decided to use C6-AHL and C12-AHL as signals. The crosstalk between the two signals in synthetic biology, is well known as a big problem to be addressed. To realize accurate switching, by network engineering, we have succeeded in circumvention of the crosstalk that occurs in bacterial cell-cell communication system. (fig.3) (fig4.)

| - | In the second-life story, E. ninja starts farming in a peaceful village. It can synthesize plant hormone efficiently, depending on the soil environment. We constructed a new phosphate sensor (phoA promoter). Also, we learned methods for quantitative analysis for activity of cytokinin, a plant hormone, through a bioassay of cucumber seed sprouts. Towards further consideration of farming with microbes, we have also continued the human practice investigation through some interviews with Science Foundation or Organizations spreading the science.
