Evaluating strategies for integrating bacterial cells into a biosensor designed to detect electrophilic toxins
To improve the process stability of wastewater treatment plants, the construction of a whole-cell bacterial biosensor is explored to harness the natural stress response of the bacterial cells. The stress response selected in this work is the glutathione-gated potassium efflux (GGKE) system, which re...
