The ability to assay whether a chassis is actively transcribing its circuit to make proteins is crucial for testing the efficacy of a fieldable construct. Bacteria have two main life stages - exponential growth, during which they reproduce and express their circuits with ease, and stationary phase, during which they cease most non-essential metabolic activity. Since stationary phase is induced by inopportune environments, such as metabolic shortage, most bacteria in nature exist in stationary phase (Jaishankar 2000). This is a major roadblock for fieldable synthetic biology, as constructs that work perfectly in the lab may stop expressing their circuit when introduced into their deployment sites. In order to assay how a circuit will behave in nature, constructs should be tested in the lab while in stationary phase.
