  This review article provides a specific example of recombinant cell and
protocell technology, moving from what is presently known to suggesting how
novel application of existing methodologies could be utilized to design a
complex synthetic system in form of a self-sufficient light empowered
protocell. A practical application of protocells using a primary example of
desalination in water treatment is given, followed by a more general review
regarding bioaccumulation and bio-diagnostics, outlining the possibilities
associated with applications of protocells.
