报告摘要

Insights from novel mechanistic paradigms in gene expression control, coupled with a greater understanding of host synthetic burden and modern creative bio-design approaches have led to the development of new gene expression systems for bio-production, control and sensing applications. Contemporary bacterial gene expression control tools and systems are emerging that permit fine-tuning of expression, enabling us to maximise specific productivity, whilst minimising deleterious effect on cell viability. Here we will report a variety of approaches taken by our research group to harness and optimize gene expression control tools for biotechnological applications in sensing, control, discovery and production .
