title: Microbe sample from Escherichia coli ET8
organism: Escherichia coli str. K-12 substr. W3110
description: E. coli ET8, expressing Gloeobacter rhodopsin from pKJ606-GR plasmid, exhibits a rhodopsin-based phototrophic metabolism. ET8 was isolated after 88 days of chemostat culture with constant illumination with limited glucose as the sole carbon source. Unlike ET5, ET8 has a larger cell size that can be fractionated using an 8-um pore size filter.
