<p>The possibility to independently control the amount of KillerRed expressed in the cells and its phototoxic activity will allow us to obtain cell suspension growing at a precisely defined oxidative stress. Our device indeed allows controlling the ROS production rate in living bacteria. In the frame of our model, this means making the quantity IK/C constant. Assuming that ROS disappear at a rate proportional to the ROS concentration, the ROS concentration per living cell will thus remain constant. Our bio-electronic system can thus be useful to study the influence of ROS on cell growth, and to investigate how different genes and molecule affect bacterial resistance to oxidative stress. Practically, one would first determine the specific parameters of the bacterial suspension as explained before, then the light intensity time profile will be calculated with our model and applied to the bacterial suspension. </p>
