+ | Have you ever dreamed of a new way of thinking everyday life objects? Be sure, this could one day become true, under the form of our '''BacteriO'Clock !''' A simple test tube containing our modified bacteria might give you the time, directly from living organisms, the hours of the day being '''color-coded''', and '''oscillations''' ensuring the repeated periodic behavior. Inspired by the flagellar motor machine, our clock at this stage of developpement serves as a '''chassis''' to be used in building future modular molecular machines in an optimized and coordinated manner. It may serve as well to control in an optimized fashion '''multi-reaction pathways'''. | ||

This '''FIFO''' behavior enables us to define a rich color encoding of day time. An additional negative feedback loop generates clock oscillations! |

Importantly, our modeling approach provided us with alternative improved designs that should lead in principle to an optimized '''BacteriO'Clock'''. In particular, this is achieved through '''synchronization at the population level''' by adopting a quorum sensing feedback mediated by HSL production that enforces a necessary delay and provides an elegant cellular synchronization mechanism : |

Through a long-cloning period, '''we now have all biobricks needed and much of the final constructions'''. Furthermore, we initiated an extensive characterization plan of these parts. If you manage to wait for the updates, you might even get the version that automatically reacts to daylight saving time ;) | ||
