“Deadman” and “Passcode” microbial kill switches for bacterial containment

Biocontainment systems that couple environmental sensing with circuit-based control of cell viability could be used to prevent escape of genetically modified microbes into the environment. Here we present two engineered safe-guard systems: the Deadman and Passcode kill switches. The Deadman kill swi...
