Bacterioclock

the idea

For scientist in a lab that don't possess a clock, we propose a petri dish on which the bacteria move on 2 concentric circles at different speed ( a circle for the minutes , one for the hours ) in addition to an easy detectable signal of presence.

how to concretize it

We could trace a path , avoid the phosphorilated form of cheY and add a tunable and robuste oscilator to control the timing of the movements.
