Re-engineering of <i>CUP1</i> promoter and Cup2/Ace1 transactivator to convert <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> into a whole-cell eukaryotic biosensor capable of detecting 10 nM of bioavailable copper
2022-04-04
Abstract excerpt
While copper is an essential micronutrient and a technologically indispensable heavy metal, it is toxic at high concentrations, harming the environment and human health. Currently, copper is monitored with costly and low-throughput analytical techniques that do not evaluate bioavailability, a crucial parameter which can be measured only with living cells. We overcame these limitations by building upon yeast S. ce...
