We implement a cellular automaton in bacterial colonies. Each bacterial colony is a core, computing an XOR gate. A sensor device detects the inputs, HSL molecules. Then, the cell integrates the signal through a logic gate, performed by proteins, the serine integrases. A necessary post processing step generates the production of HSL molecules. Meanwhile, GFP, a visual read out, longlastingly indicates the state of the well. The produced signal then propagates in a directive fashion through a millifluidic chip. This iterative process faces the challenges of leakiness, cross-talk, protein-level computation and diffusion.
