Sensors and Detection
Stuff to sense:
- metals
- sugars
- gasses
- hormones
- pharmaceuticals
- cancer cells
- light
- pollution
Bioelectricity
- nanowires
- Species
- Shewanella
- Geobacter
- Synechococcus (woooo photosynthesis!)
- Pseudomonas
- How do we harvest/detect the electricity?
- What do they make electricity in response to? How many steps?
- changes in reducing environment
- availibility of metabolites
- light
Synthetic Circuits
- Respond to stimulus with a bistable system
- Memory?
- Transcriptionally control output reporter?
Wacky Ideas
- Bacteria that make a solid substance so you can "build" with bacteria---BioBricks! Haha!
- Bacterial "game of life"
- Bacteria that can live on Venus
- Drosophila that exhale hydrogen
- Inject chloroplasts into yeast for synthetic algae
- Photosynthetic bacteria that make hydrogen or other fuels
- Bacteria that reduce ferredoxin for hydrogen production
