Development of a formaldehyde biosensor with application to synthetic methylotrophy [PDF]
Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 2018 Formaldehyde is a prevalent environmental toxin and a key intermediate in single carbon metabolism. The ability to monitor formaldehyde concentration is, therefore, of interest for both environmental monitoring and for metabolic engineering of native and synthetic methylotrophs, but current methods suffer from low sensitivity, complex workflows, or ...
