Regulation bacteria

The main idea is to develop a bacteria that regulates the concentration of a molecule 'X' and keeps it constant by a dynamical equilibrium (see presentation). This is being done by simultaneous synthesis and degradation (with 1 or 2 being dependant on concentration), a dynamical equilibrium exists when the synthesis equals the degradation. This dynamical equilibrium can be set by using light sensor, the light intensity would then be proportional to the concentration for the equilibrium.
