| + | var pHContent="<br/>Cellular machines are not isolated systems. They have an intimate relationship with their surroundings and must change with varying environmental conditions. To do this, they rely on sensory machinery to trigger internal fluctuations based on external stimuli such as light, chemical concentrations, etc. Sensors have been engineered for the E. coli chassis but one stimulus has been neglected: pH.<br/><br/>Using a two-component sensory kinase system from Agrobacterium tumefaciens, we have engineered a pH sensor for E. coli. | ||
