“…The number of studies that have applied this strategy is increasing rapidly (Binder et al, 2012(Binder et al, , 2013Mustafi et al, 2012;Siedler et al, 2014bSiedler et al, , 2017Jha et al, 2016;Wang Y. et al, 2016;Liu Y.F. et al, 2017;Schulte et al, 2017;Flachbart et al, 2019;Kortmann et al, 2019). In practice, cross-talk between cells should be noted, as it may lead to false positive results, decreasing the screening efficiency; this can be FIGURE 2 | Genetically encoded TF-based biosensors and their applications in metabolic engineering.…”
