Inducible gene expression based upon Tet repressor (tet regulation) is a broadly applied
tool in molecular genetics. In its original environment, Tet repressor (TetR) negatively …

Introduction Understanding how bacteria harboring antibiotic resistance grow in the
presence of antibiotics is critical for predicting the spread and evolution of drug resistance …

Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) was the first retrovirus to be discovered as a
causative agent of adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATL) and chronic inflammatory …

One fundamental challenge in synthetic biology is the lack of quantitative tools that
accurately describe and predict the behaviours of engineered gene circuits. This challenge …

The potentiality of using a luminescent Escherichia coli strain for the specific detection of
tetracycline residues in raw bovine milk was investigated. The sensor cells contain a …

Engineered gene switches and circuits that can sense various biochemical and physical
signals, perform computation, and produce predictable outputs are expected to greatly …

A new and promising technique in microbial ecology and environmental biology is the use of
whole-cell bacterial biosensors. This minireview describes the use of such biosensors for …

A bioluminescent Escherichia coli K-12 strain for the specific detection of the tetracycline
group of antibiotics is described. A sensor plasmid, containing five genes from bacterial …

Tetracycline analogs fell into two classes on the basis of their mode of action. Tetracycline,
chlortetracycline, minocycline, doxycycline, and 6-demethyl-6-deoxytetracycline inhibited …

Three different mini-Tn 5 plasmids, containing a tetracycline-inducible promoter, P tet and a
regulatory gene, tetR, in operon fusions with a reporter gene system (lacZYA, luxCDABE or …
