Traditional electronics use lithography in order to pattern electronics in precise ways, and it turns out that we can use synthetic biology to pattern cells using light in a similar way. 7 Using ...

Round spheres, straight rods, and twisting corkscrews, bacteria come in many different shapes. The shape of bacteria is dictated by their cell wall, the strong outer barrier of the cell. As bacteria ...

In study published this week (August 7) in Science Advances, researchers show that bacteria with proteorhodopsins—proteins that capture light with a pigment called retinal—play a major role in ...

“We wanted to exploit this phenomenon to see if we could shape the concentration of bacteria using light.” In order to achieve this, the team projected varying levels of light through a microscope ...
