Synthetically Engineered Biosensors Facilitate Molecule Detection Using Living Eukaryotic Cells

Synthetically engineered biosensors, which can be designed to detect and signal the presence of specific small molecule compounds, have already unlocked many potential applications by harnessing bacterial cells such as E. coli to sense toxins or enable bioproduction of valuable commodities including fuel, plastics, and pharmaceuticals. As of yet, however, scientists have been challenged to leverage biosensors for use in eukaryotic cells — which comprise yeast, plants and animals — because strategies-to-date are limited in the molecules they can detect and the signals they can produce.

NSF-Funded Project to Extract Metadata from 1,900 Sensors in the Gulf of Mexico

On any given day, there are some 1,900 sensors collecting data about the Gulf of Mexico and many thousands more outside the region, feeding it back to researchers throughout the world. The information collected is used to enhance weather and boating forecasts, aid shipping and navigation and even track harmful algal blooms that could affect the health of coastal residents. The data is also used to track long-term trends such as sea level rise and climate change.
