Whole Cell Bacterial Biosensor for Glutamine and Applications to Plants and Microbes

Glutamine (Gln) is a critical intermediate in nitrogen metabolism in all organisms. Here, a whole cell biosensor (GlnLux) for Gln was constructed by transforming a bacterial Gln auxotroph with a constitutive lux reporter. The biosensor was optimized for sensitivity, linearity, efficiency, specificit...
