Engineering of the LuxI-LuxR quorum sensing systems for applications in industrial biotechnology

Quorum-sensing systems enable autonomous activation of gene expression and have been widely used in the construction of artificial genetic circuits, but exhibit poor tunability. We anticipate that tunable quorum sensing would facilitate its application in synthetic biology and industrial biotechnolo...
