The Good and Bad news
The Good News
Our system will work in E.coli
The Bad News
In 2004 Texas submitted the cyanbacterial equivalent of our system, so... Our biobricks would be unique but they would do the exact same thing.
The Good News
I looked up a very promising pathway that detects blue light instead
The Bad News
I can only find a summary of the paper... Here is the link to it
