Check out this blog post about my lab's new technology where we engineered bacteria to mineralize a glass coating around themselves, which allows them to focus light like tiny microlenses!. Just out in PNAS:

Cutting-edge photonic devices frequently rely on microparticle components to focus and manipulate light. Conventional methods used to produce these...
I'm trying something new: A (possibly) daily blog about biology and engineering. I'd like to see whether I can emulate Derek Lowe for, say, one month. My first post is about bacteria that were engineered to act as microlenses, focusing beams of photons.

The silicatein-expressing cells capture and scatter light into long jets that are focused a few um away from the cells. The cells are alive for several months after encapsulation, opening the possibility to sense-and-respond to their environment.

Our preprint on engineered bacterial microlenses is out! We engineered bacteria to display sea sponge enzymes on their outer membranes. These bacteria can self-assemble a bioglass coating around themselves, and focus light into bright, photonic nanojets.

Photonic devices are cutting-edge optical materials that produce narrow, intense beams of light, but their synthesis typically requires toxic, complex methodology. Here we employ a synthetic biology...
