Portable environment-signal detection biosensors with cell-free synthetic biosystems

Abstract

By embedding regulated genetic circuits and cell-free systems onto a paper, the portable in vitro biosensing platform showed the possibility of detecting environmental pollutants, namely arsenic ions and bacterial quorum-sensing signal AHLs (N-acyl homoserine lactones). This platform has a great potential for practical environmental management and diagnosis.
