Biolamp

We designed a stylish and translucent container to house our modified Synechocystis. Considering the attributes of these bacteria this will be the first self-rechargeable, programmable and eco-friendly biological lamp. It will emit light only at night, and during the day it will recharge thanks to the Photoautotrophic nature of Synechocystis.

It consists basically in a structure made of acrylic with the form similar to a hollow torus. We chose acrylic because it is transparent and has a minimal fragility.
