Scientists Working on E.chromi Bacteria that Colors Hazardous Chemicals

In the near future synthetic biology could have a great impact on our way of life, our environment and health.

A group of synthetic biology scientists and designers from Cambridge University has come up with a daring project called E.chromi.

E.chromi is a genetically engineered bacterium that has the potential of generating colored pigments.

The invention could have a wide range of applications. For instance, it can help identify hazardous pollutants in water by producing a specific color related to each pollutant.
