| Title: Engineered bacterial two-component systems as synthetic biotechnology platforms in biosensor, bioremediation and bio-refinery | |
| Abstract: Two-component regulatory systems (TCRSs) mediate cellular response by coupling sensing and regulatory mechanisms. TCRSs are comprised of a histidine kinase (HK), which serves as a sensor, and a response regulator, which regulates expression of the effector gene after being phosphorylated by HK. Using these attributes, bacterial TCRSs can be engineered to design microbial systems for different applications. Here we focuses on the current advances in TCRS-based biosensors and on the design of microbial systems for bioremediation and their potential application in bio-refinery. | |
