Sensor strategy a boon for synthetic biology

Sensor strategy a boon for synthetic biology 04/17/2018 12:51 PM EDT Rice University synthetic biologists have invented a technology to dial up or down the sensitivity of bacterial biosensors. Researchers say the technique could enable the engineering of tailor-made biosensors for diagnostic gut bacteria, detection of environmental pollutants or automated control of nutrient levels in soil.
