Energy requirements keep on increasing. Resource consumption and dependence on fossil fuels has led modern society to use crops for fuel production.  
+
Synechocystis PCC6803 has been proposed as the green E. coli. This chassis can be used in industry to achieve more sustainable processes.

Sustainability is needed desperately, and we believe that <i>Luxilla</i> might bring some aid in that aspect.

We have thought about real practical applications of <i>Luxilla</i> on passive lighting, specially in areas of transit like corridors or sidewalks.

Since we started developing this project we have realized the importance of biological context, specially when functionality is a desired aspect of the behavioral output of the system. While in one chassis a Biobrick may provide a novel function, in another it may become a practical application for society.

We have seen first hand the difficulties associated with this aspect of current progress in SynBio. (JAJAJ acabo de escribir SyneBIO). By lacking standarized and proven methodologies and relying on previous uncharacterized work. We urge the Synbio community to address this aspect by encouraging the use and characterization of different chassis. It is of utmost importance that BioBrick designed for the chassis must be characterized in the chassis or they may prove fallible. The same can be said about failed experiences with BioBricks that are not reported.
