<p>We plan to engineer the soil bacterium <i>Pseudomonas putida</i> to function as a glucose detector. In the presence of glucose it will express the red fluorescent protein mCherry (see <strong>Figure 1</strong>). To achieve this we will use the promoters of four operons commonly found in <i>Pseudomonas putida</i>. The operons are negatively controlled, and the expression of subsequent genes is initiated by derivatives of glucose. We will characterize the performance of these four promoters and choose one to do further work on.

<p>Further, we will encapsulate our engineered bacteria in alginate. This is a polymeric biomaterial from brown algae that can be used to form gel capsules. By encapsulating living cells in alginate, the semi permeable gel capsule will shield the cells from the surroundings at the same time as letting small molecules like glucose in and out (<strong>Figure 1</strong>).
