Programming Bacteria With Light-Sensors and Applications in Synthetic Biology.

abstract：:The commensal fungus Candida albicans is the major cause of fungal systemic infection in immuno-compromised patients, with a mortality rate approaching 50% in the case of bloodstream infections. There is therefore a clear need to better understand fungal biology during infection to improve treatment. One of the partic...
