An engineered bacterial symbiont maps micron-scale sugar gradients in the honeybee gut

The paper engineers a bacterial biosensor to map micron-scale arabinose gradients in the honeybee gut, revealing heterogeneous nutrient distribution influenced by co-colonizing microbes.

Engineering Intercellular Communication using M13 Phagemid and CRISPR-based Gene Regulation for Multicellular Computing in Escherichia coli

This paper develops a method for intercellular communication in E. coli using M13 phagemids and CRISPR-based gene regulation to build logic gates for multicellular computing.

Engineering a symbiont as a biosensor for the honey bee gut environment

The paper develops a biosensor in the honey bee gut bacterium to detect IPTG exposure through fluorescent protein expression, enabling non-invasive fecal sampling.
