| <li style=“margin-left: 40px”> We read about how we could tackle safety issues associated with our bacterial-powered lightbulb. We decided to engineer a bacterial strain that could only grow under highly defined environmental conditions (e.g. high Hydrogen Peroxide levels). Therefore, if our bacteria was ever released in the environment it would die before it could contaminate its surroundings.</li> | | <li style=“margin-left: 40px”> We read about how we could tackle safety issues associated with our bacterial-powered lightbulb.
