Abstract
A process for regulating transcriptional activity of a gene is provided. The process comprises introducing genetic material into an organism, placing a gene downstream of a light-regulated promoter within the organism having a light responsive element and subjecting the organism to an exogenous light source. The genetic material is selected from a photosynthetic bacterium and the light source is configured to control the level of transcriptional activity of the gene.
