Welcome toA New Era of
Biosensor networks are ordinarily encoded for on a single plasmid. By separating biosensor networks into modules, variants of these modules can be more easily varied and developed. Each module of a biosensor could also be encoded by a separate cell, with quorum sensing molecules (e.g. acyl homoserine lactones - AHLs) enabiling communication between modules. This separation would reduce the 'load' taken on by each cell, as they would only need to express a module instead of the entire biosensor network. It would also enable biosensor variants to be made and tested without the need for lots of long and tedious genetic cloning. We have created the 'Sensynova Biosensor Development Framework' (above), which separates out biosensors into three modules; a detector, a processor, and a reporter. We have also included an optional 'adapter' module. To learn more about our framework, go to our project description page! |
