Dynamic and tunable metabolite control for robust minimal-equipment assessment of serum zinc
Tightly controlling cell output is challenging, which has limited development and applications of bacterial sensors. Here the authors develop tunable, fast-responding sensors to control production of metabolic pigments and use them to assess zinc deficiency in a low-cost, minimal equipment fashion.
