| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Synthetic Biology meets the stage to treat collective activity of mixed species cells. However, conventional researches stay in the level of controlling homogeneous spatial structure by using small chemicals. We proposed a computational model which can be validated by biological experiments with Synthetic Biology. We selected a layered mat structure of microorganisms in natural hot springs as a testbed. We performed a meta-genome analysis on microbe mats under artificially controlled environment by LED lights. The results show the species composition will be changed according to the strength of the light and suggest a method to control the function of collective activities of mixed species cells.
