+ | <p><br><br>Our data revealed that cells expressing different chromoproteins tended to have different growth rates, despite the fact that they all were similar in size. This aligns with the theory that co-cultures tend to fail due to one population’s growth rate exceeding that of the other. This affirms the need for a genetic circuit to stabilise co-cultures. | ||

+ | The cells transformed with the efoRed+GP2 construct showed a decrease in growth rate when induced with arabinose, suggesting that our circuit can be a suitable system for controlling the growth of colored cells.</p> | ||
