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:
MerR family TFs share a high homology 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 toxic heavy
metal, lead (Pb) to prove the validness of our engineering strategy.learn more
