Logic gates allow bacteria to work like computers

Fri Dec 10, 2010

Four colonies—each composed of a strain containing a single gate—are arranged such that the computation progresses from left to right.

Logic gates, similar to those that form the basis of silicon computing, can now be inserted into bacteria via genetic engineering, making it possible to manipulate bacteria to perform complicated tasks. This finding will ultimately enable cells to be programmed with more intricate functions,...
