Summary The work we have done
Summary Color Mim imic • Constructed RGB light inducible circuits. • Tested the photographic system with projector. • Calibrated chromatic aberration by modeling. Motion Control • Validated the adhesiveness of C.crescentus. • Extracted motion control parts from chromosomal DNA: DgrA/DgrB and HfiA. • Constructed standard parts for motion control (Flagellum Control & holdfast biosynthesis).
Summary Conjugation • Found optimal initial concentrations in conjugation by modeling. • Developed the protocol of conjugation between C. crescentus and S17-1 E.coli. • Constructed parts for conjugation. • Validated the effectiveness of adhesiveness in raising the resolution of images by modeling. Safety • Constructed kill-switch parts and validated its functionality.
