Results - Blue Light

We decided to develop a photo-inducible genetic circuit that triggers the production of Ethylene in presence of blue light (470 nm), and stops at dark.

We thought to use blue light as our inducer because it would fit perfectly to our very own B. fruity vending machine, being the easiest way to control a genetic device in a totally automated scaffold. All parts have been transformed and characterized in E. coli (strain NEB10b).
