Abstract
Embodiments of apparatus, compositions, methods, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed relating to the optimization and production of biological components for use in biohybrid photosensitive devices and systems and other applications. In some embodiments, biologically derived components are disclosed having properties and/or characteristics that are optimized for applications of interest relative to corresponding components derived from naturally occurring organisms. In some embodiments, properties and/or characteristics of biological components are optimized by subjecting organisms and/or populations thereof to forced adaptation.
