Development of an autonomous and bifunctional quorum-sensing circuit for metabolic flux control in engineered Escherichia coli.

abstract：:We have developed an in vivo system to engender supercoiled "minicircle" DNA containing a single promoter by using the integrative recombination system of bacteriophage lambda. The resulting minicircle templates allow quantitative analysis of the stages of transcription initiation from a promoter, including synthesis ...
