Aromatics Scouts
A Comprehensive Biosensor Toolkit to Profile Aromatics in Environment
Monitoring aromatics in the environment remains a substantial challenge today. Noting the power of biosensors to allow quick and convenient testing, Peking iGEM have developed a functionally comprehensive biosensor toolkit to profile aromatics in the 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 really high-performance to profile aromatics in water.
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 expect that these novel biosensors, together with the Adaptors and the Band-pass Filter, will serve as intriguing tools for diverse practical applications.
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
