Potential Whole-Cell Biosensors for Detection of Metal Using MerR Family Proteins from <i>Enterobacter</i> sp. YSU and <i>Stenotrophomonas maltophilia</i> OR02

Potential Whole-Cell Biosensors for Detection of Metal Using MerR Family Proteins from <i>Enterobacter</i> sp. YSU and <i>Stenotrophomonas maltophilia</i> OR02

Cell-based biosensors harness a cell’s ability to respond to the environment by repurposing its sensing mechanisms. MerR family proteins are activator/repressor switches that regulate the expression of bacterial metal resistance genes and have been used in metal biosensors. Upon metal binding, a con...
