Asunto: Synthetic biology: Designer bacteria degrades toxin
| Synthetic biology: Designer bacteria degrades toxin Nature Chemical Biology 6, 398 (2010). doi:10.1038/nchembio.378 Author: John R Kirby The ability to degrade atrazine has been engineered in a strain of Escherichia coli capable of responding specifically to the presence of the herbicide. A chemical biology approach generated an atrazine-sensitive riboswitch enabling a cellular response to occur only in the presence of the toxin. |
