What the tool is doing

Whole-cell biosensors convert target metabolite concentrations into observable outputs within living microorganisms. The abstract frames them as tools for efficient assessment of microbial production during metabolic engineering.

Source 2DOI PubMed

Resources required

They operate within living microorganisms, so a cellular host context is required. The abstract does not specify particular reporter systems or host species.

Source 2DOI PubMed

What problem it solves

They help address the time- and labor-intensive nature of designing, optimizing, and evaluating biosynthetic pathways in microbial cell factories.

Source 2DOI PubMed

Alternatives

The abstract contrasts whole-cell biosensors with cell-free biosensors, which function independently of cell growth using transcription-translation machinery.
