제목 Cellular communication-based screening for export phenotypes
초록 Although cellular export is important in industrial biotechnology, its assessment is difficult due to the lack of efficient analytical methods. This study describes a synthetic cellular communication-based microfluidic platform for screening improved export phenotypes. Metabolite-secreting cells were compartmentalized in droplets, with sensing cells equipped with a genetic circuit that converts the export level into an easily detectable signal. This platform was applied to identify Escherichia coli genes that enhance the exportation of 3-hydroxypropionic acid, an industry-relevant platform chemical. Resultantly, two genes (gene X, gene Y) found by this platform enhance the secretion of 3-hydroxypropionic acid and its production. Given the increasing design capability for chemical-detecting cells, this platform has considerable potential in identifying efflux pumps for many important chemicals.
