French startup Glowee works on a new concept for the future smart city: It aims to provide street lighting through synthetic biology. It uses the bioluminescent genetics of bacteria living in squids, inserts them in common, non-pathogenic bacteria, which are capsuled in a transparent shell. The light produced by the bacteria would be able to replace street lighting, and in that way strongly reduce electricity consumption.
