Design and construction of a cellular biosensor for detection of autoinducer-2 quorum sensing inhibitors using a genetic toggle switch
Bjerg, Johan (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2022-01-05)Bacteria employ molecular communication systems termed quorum sensing (QS) to sense cell density and organize collective behavior. Many of these behaviors have implications on modern society and human health. As the antimicrobial toolbox of classic antibiotics shrinks due to extensive spread of resistance in pathogenic bacteria, interfering with bacterial communication by ‘quenching’ the QS signals ...
