Sulfite removes oxygen from solution allowing pyocyanin to be maintained in a reduced state. A potential of +0.5V generates oxidised pyocyanin and ferricyanide. Ferricyanide pushes the cell into an oxidising condition, allowing pyocyanin to remain oxidised and activate gene expression of a redox sensing gene circuit. A -0.3V potential generated reduced pyocyanin and ferrocyanide. Ferrocyanide pushes the cell into a reducing condition, allowing pyocyanin to remain reduced to prevent activation of gene expression by a redox sensing gene circuit. </br><div class="center"> | Sulfite removes oxygen from solution allowing pyocyanin to be maintained in a reduced state.

SoxR:
pSoxS:
Quinone Pool:
Biological Module Mechanism:
When the Iron-Sulfur centres of SoxR are oxidised by oxidised pyocyanin produced by the electrochemical module, it activates transcription downstream of pSoxS. This allows for electrogenetic induction of any gene or gene circuit downstream of this promoter.PixCell Electrogenetic System Design
