Engineering and application of a biosensor with focused ligand specificity

Transcriptional biosensors represent powerful tools for the screening of vast strain libraries, but the broad ligand specificity of some transcriptional regulators (TRs) can prohibit such applications. Here authors present the engineering of a LysG-based biosensor with a focused ligand specificity t...

description Transcriptional biosensors represent powerful tools for the screening of vast strain libraries, but the broad ligand specificity of some transcriptional regulators (TRs) can prohibit such applications. Here authors present the engineering of a LysG-based biosensor with a focused ligand specificity to isolate L-histidine-producing strains.
