iGEM 2012: CopenhagenIn this project we are producing a construct that allows cyanobacteria to emit light when exposed to darkness for an extended period. The advantage of using cyanobacteria over other model organisms such as E. coli, is that Cyanobacteria do not require glucose in growth, but fix the CO2 in the atmosphere. The construct uses promoters of genes that are involved in the circadian rhythm of cyanobacteria, associated with a luciferase gene casette containing all the enzymes necessary for the deployment of biologically generated light. The result is a sustainable system in which cyanobacteria per day will synthesize the components necessary for the production of light and consume them at night during the emission of light. |
