An autonomous microbial sensor enables long-term detection of TNT explosive in natural soil - Nature Communications Engineered microbes can detect harmful chemicals, but may not work well in complex environments. Here, the authors built microbial sensors for detection of TNT explosive and tested their response over...

NEW paper 🚨! We engineered TNT sensors in soil bacteria for long-term detection of explosive in natural soil, enabling geospatial detection of contaminated soil. This work (led by Erin Essington) included new sensors, circuits, modeling, & a 28-day testing workflow. 1/

Hi Catherine, my group works on non-standard nucleic acids (xenonucleic acids). Nucleic acids is one of our big communities

Looking to join if there’s space too. My group works on various aspects of expanded genetic codes and expanded genetic alphabets (all in syn bio space)!

Very creative use of a prebiotic-inspired, hybridization-accelerated covalent reaction for capture of charged aminoacyl-tRNAs.

I am looking for an add as well! My group has projects on discovery and #biosynthesis of nucleoside natural products

Ah I'm sorry Jorge but the sequence is set and we can't pair any more accounts! If I get enough "Add Me" requests I will start a 2nd list some time.
Please spread the #ChemBio hashtag bravely and let's see if we can get a bot reposting for us.
Happy ChemBioing!
