Sheffield # PARSE: PhAge deRived growth SlowErs # Molecular biology workflow is significantly impacted by microbial dynamics, which itself is heavily dependent on cell growth rate. To date, an automatic plasmid system in which growth rate can be reliably predicted and instigated has not yet been developed. Such a system would have several useful applications in bioproduction, co-culturing and directed evolution. Thus, our goal is to create a system that allows for Escherichia coli growth rate to be a genetically programmable parameter. ...
