=Today's Progress=

Projects discussed

 * 1) Bacteria life circle
 * 2) Control the bacteria population in the air conditioning
 * 3) Bacterial Mover (Detailed discussion in the later section)
 * 4) Standard biobrick assess kit
 * 5) Bacteria neural system
 * 6) Bacteria memorize

Bacterial Mover

 * We want to engineer the bacteria so that they can move coherently towards one direction so that in a macroscopical view, they can move certain object(hopefully).
 * Biologically we want to solve two questions:
 * How can bacteria find/stick to the object they are going to push? How can they know the direction to where they are going to push the object?
 * We solve this problem by stick the bacteria to the object only on their 'head'.
 * How can the bacteria constantly moving forward rather than tumbling at times?
 * We are finding ways to make them constantly move.
 * There are a lot of engineering problem we have discussed today, for example:
 * Will the bacteria be able to push a fan in the water to generate electricity?
 * How to improve the efficiency?
 * However, Xiaofu suggest that we should leave these questions to engineers. And at this stage we only need to prove that our bacteria can achieve the two criteria mentioned above.
