Biosensor:
Based on reverse engineering principles, we
engineered our bacteria into valid bioreporters
for Hg(II) in aquatic environment. Rational desi-
-gn of genetic circuit topology was conducted to
confer mercury sensor and regulator compone-
-nts high efficiency and robustness. Additionally,
a new approach based on the use of multiple
bioreporter cell lines to control assay variations
and to improve in field application ease was also
developed.

Expansion:
We noticed that MerR family TFs share a high ho-
-mology at their metal binding domains, which implies that our strategies of bioreporter and bioabsorbent engineering might be applicable to other cases.
Then our reverse engineering strategy was expanded to another common to-
-xic heavy metal, lead (Pb) to prove the validness of our engineering strategy.
