Well, that's because of this:
When you have the gene synthesized, it would fit then. But it costs lot of money. Or you take the traditional approach, get a (very good!) viral  plant promotor template, RBS template, etc. attach them to the lux genes (also a lot of work), take many steps to make codon adaption (essential for good yields), ..... You see, a lot of work (and chemicals also cost money). Or a lot of money.

Hello! Im very new to DIYbio and I am looking to do an exciting first project. I work in a genetics lab so I have experience with most techniques. I have had many ideas for projects, that I happily found out most people have had the same ones too (glowing plants, glowing yogurt) but I thought a lava lamp would be the simplest way. I am wondering how you guys would go about completing this. I saw that cambridge igem team made a lava-lamp, seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUFscEVK5Ks I would like to make something just like that. I would prefer if I didn't have to induce it or if I did it would be through oxygen like the cambridge lava-lamp. It would be cool to have in my room to light it up at night. As with the glowing plants and yogurt they seem to be a lot harder and it seems like not many people have been successful so I wanted to choose a project that I would be more likely to succed. Thanks!
