There are two possible approaches. One, using real bacteria, which is attractive since if you compute the number of OPS in a Petri dish it is astronomical. And the second approach - using artificial bacteria running as software from modified bacterial DNA leveraging its pre-existing computational complexity. How many bits are required for a minimalistic functional virtual bacteria and how many virtual bacteria are required for effective virtual microbial intelligence? Probably real bacteria far outperform the virtual in OPS but the virtual are way more controllable.
