New biosensor highlights candidate microbes for biofuel production BRC Science Highlight New biosensor highlights candidate microbes for biofuel production Objective Develop a genetically encoded biosensor for the NADH/NAD+ ratio in bacteria to facilitate high-throughput redox screens, enabling rapid identification of the strains best primed for biofuel production. The new genetically encoded biosensor triggers green fluorescence in cells with high NADH levels, enabling rapid identification of the strains best primed for biofuel production. Approach Designed and engineered a genetically encoded biosensor, based on a redox-responsive bacterial transcription factor, that fluoresces in response to high NADH levels. Used this biosensor to investigate the differential effects of removing various respiratory chain enzymes that normally regulate NADH and NAD+ levels in cells. Used the biosensor to pinpoint individual cells engineered to have high NADH among a field of 10,000 wild-type cells, demonstrating its utility for high-throughput screening. Results/Impacts The findings suggest that the biosensor is a powerful tool for exploring and engineering redox metabolism in a variety of biological contexts. Offers major improvements over previous methods for identifying promising microbial strains for biofuel production, making the process cheaper, faster, and more accurate. Y. Liu, R. Landick, and S.
