Tryptophan not only serves as a fundamental building block for protein synthesis but also acts as a metabolic precursor for a diverse array of high-value chemicals. Although a few tryptophan-responsive biosensors are currently available, there is a growing interest in developing high-performance biosensors. In this study, we create a miniature toolkit of tryptophan biosensors based upon the leader regulatory region of the operon, which is responsible for tryptophan catabolism in .

Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems in bacteria are key regulators of the cell cycle and can activate a death response under stress conditions. Like other bacterial elements, TA modules have been widely exploited for biotechnological purposes in diverse applications, such as molecular cloning and anti-cancer therapies. However, their use in plants has been limited, leaving room for the development of new approaches.

Tuberculosis is a worldwide plague caused by the pathogen (). Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are genetic elements abundantly present in prokaryotic organisms and regulate important cellular processes. MazEF is a TA system implicated in the formation of "persisters cells" of , which contain more than 10 such members.

Staphylococcus aureus infections are hard to treat due to the emergence of antibiotic resistant strains, as well as their ability to form biofilms. The MazEF toxin-antitoxin system is thought play a role in bacterial biofilm phenotype as well as antibiotic resistance. In S.
