Optimizing engineered bacterial systems for industrial applications
Improving the specificity of quorum sensor LasR in bacterial consortia using site-directed and saturation mutagenesis
Synthetic biology is a growing field of research that can be applied to many industries including the biomedical industry. Issues such as antibiotic resistance can be solved with engineered bacterial systems. These engineered bacterial systems can be controlled to execute certain desirable functions or behaviors, such as killing off pathogenic bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. With engineered bacterial systems having so much potential in the biomedical field, it is important to continue staying updated to advance this field.
