So laser zebras arenโt as unlikely as they were painted?
we can also make lasers out of fluorescent bacteria as well, so not only not as unlikely as they were painted, theyโre entirely and feasibly possible.

Why would we create such a thing though?

Donโt let yourself be fooled, collosal genetics is a fraud.

Wouldnโt that be weaker because bioluminescence is produces less light than the sun?

Idk, willow probably could explain how powerful such bacteria lasers truly could be if upscaled to macroscopic sizesโฆ

no???
unless youโre thinking of destructive interference, which is easily avoided by simply not using wavelengths that the sun makes a lot of, but even then the sun isnโt gonna do much of it to a laser, and excluding destructive interference, heating from multiple light sources only adds up
so if anything, the sun would make it stronger
and also if youโre talking about how the laser would have light leaking in from outside, thatโs so simple a problem that a bacterium could figure out how to fix it if it needed to
the solution is literally just to use a film that makes stuff darker on either side of a shiny, transparent object, and use that as a mirror and the exit of the laser
the more pressing issue is that youโre using cells to make the laser, and cells notoriously have membranes, which cause clusters of cells to be really good diffractors, which are notoriously very bad for the performance of a laser
and even then thereโs a very simple solution to that
one that is found in nearly every bodily fluid, to be exact
said solution is to put the proteins you need to not deal with interference from inside a cell, outside the cells
eyes are the best example of how to do any bodily fluid that needs to be transparent though, since they have to have their fluid be transparent to work

Scientists have recently discovered the molecule imidazole propionate, or ImP, created from microbial breakdown of the amino acid Histidine may be an important factor in heart disease formation.

So your lab is the only one which specializes in this specific research?

Apparently, I didnโt look deep enough. There are always collaborations with other labs.

Etch lqb member have abit diffrent project that belongs to the same theme.
My lab reserch plant in abiotic stresses (heat, metals)
Some on the APX that part of the system of oxidizing neutralized. Mine its APX6 - genotype of the general gene that have abit diffrent functions in the plants cell. I also have a another diffrent secret project about flavonoids - colors of the plants that protect oxygen damage
