Embedding bio-sentinels in the indoor microbiome to remediate airborne threats

Abstract

This effort addresses two main barriers to using indoor microbiome to detect and mitigate airborne threats: 1) stably integrating engineered bacteria into indoor microbiomes, and 2) establishing threat-responsive control of bio-sentinel proliferation for interior room surfaces. If successful, the engineered microbiomes could be used to report and remediate various environmental conditions, including chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive materials (CBRNE) or other general health threats.
