BE Seminar: “Repurposing bacterial two-component systems as sensors for synthetic biology applications “
Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesTwo-component systems (TCSs) are the largest family of signal transduction pathways in biology, and a treasure trove of biosensors for engineering applications. Though present in plants and other eukaryotes, TCSs are ubiquitous in bacteria. Bacteria use TCSs to sense everything from metal ions to carbohydrates and light, and activate responses such as biofilm formation, antibiotic-resistance, […]
