Abstract excerpt
Genetically encoded biosensors are extensively utilized in synthetic biology and metabolic engineering. However, reported xylose biosensors are far too sensitive with a limited operating range to be useful for most sensing applications. In this study, we describe directed evolution of Escherichia coli XylR, and construction of biosensors based on XylR and the corresponding operator xylO. The operating range of...
