Aromatics Scouts
A Comprehensive Biosensor Toolkit to Profile Aromatics in Environment
Aromatic pollutants are becoming a worldwide concern. Monitoring aromatics in the environment, however, remains a substantial challenge. Noting the power of biosensors to enable quick and convenient testing, Peking iGEM have developed a novel biosensor toolkit to profile aromatics in environment. Transcriptional regulators that each senses a specific class of aromatics were first bioinformatically determined; they were then utilized to build a comprehensive set of biosensor circuits. Characterization on the detection profiles of individual biosensors and their orthogonality/crosstalk prove that these biosensors are high-performance.
Moreover, for the ease of practical applications, two types of genetic devices were also developed as plug-ins for biosensors: "Adaptors", a set of conceptually novel devices to convert undetectable chemicals into detectable aromatics, and "Band-pass Filter", a "concentration filter" that allows the detection of analyte concentration within a specific range.
We have a date in the database
Auto Sensor Mining
Light of glory shall shed
upon those who see
Biosensors
They will always be there
waiting for our arrival
Plug-ins
My heart beats only for the special you
Band-pass Filter
Though soundless the beatings of wings
do feel the pleasant breeze
Human Practice
