Optogenetic control of Bacillus subtilis gene expression
Bacillus subtilis has complex spatial and temporal gene expression patterns but currently lacks optogenetic tools to explore these processes. Here the authors import and debug a cyanobacterial green light sensor pathway and show that it enables precise optical control of gene expression.
