Journal ArticleDOI

Ion channels enable electrical communication in bacterial communities

TL;DR: It is shown that ion channels conduct long-range electrical signals within bacterial biofilm communities through spatially propagating waves of potassium, which result from a positive feedback loop, in which a metabolic trigger induces release of intracellular potassium which depolarizes neighbouring cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synchronized cycles of bacterial lysis for in vivo delivery

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used microfluidic devices to characterize the engineered lysis strain and demonstrate its potential as a drug delivery platform via co-culture with human cancer cells in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI

A sensing array of radically coupled genetic ‘biopixels’

TL;DR: This work engineer the synchronization of thousands of oscillating colony ‘biopixels’ over centimetre-length scales through the use of synergistic intercellular coupling involving quorum sensing within a colony and gas-phase redox signalling between colonies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolic co-dependence gives rise to collective oscillations within biofilms.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that oscillations support population-level conflict resolution by coordinating competing metabolic demands in space and time, suggesting new strategies to control biofilm growth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Programmable probiotics for detection of cancer in urine

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that probiotics can be programmed to safely and selectively deliver synthetic gene circuits to diseased tissue microenvironments in vivo and can noninvasively indicate the presence of liver metastasis by producing easily detectable signals in urine.
