<p>To reach our goal we designed a synthethic circuit that links to the endogenous circadian rhythm of <i>Synechocystis PCC6803.</i> As a proof of concept we are going to engineer the first light-rechargeable biological lamp: <i>Synechocystis PCC 6803</i> cells that emit light only by night while recovering and producing the substrates in the day.<b> We strongly believe</b> this will serve as an enabling tool to any project requiring time control over a biological behaviour independently of the user's input.</p>
