The motivation To develop a system for directing bacteria to a target of interest and effecting downstream activity • Bacterial targeting is necessary for spatially-specific activity in the body or in nature • Post-targeting activity and transmembranesignalling are the next step in engineering genetic circuits that interface extracellular and intracellular environments
The vision:Bacterial targeting via membrane display
The vision:Inter-cellular activation viaLux quorum-sensing
The vision:Intra-cellular activation viaFec signal transduction
