Essencia Coli

Overview of the system

The main idea is to synthesize a molecule 'X' and at the same time measure the concentration of this molecule outside the cell in order to keep the concentration constant. This concentration can then be modulated using light intensity. This creates a controll system with feedback from the concentration.

For proof of concept the molecule 'X' is set to be vanillin.
