Living Plasmonics: Distributed environmental sensing with photoluminescent sensor ELM through enzymatic coupling of bacterial sensing with nanoplasmonics

In the project Living Plasmonics we aim at developing an engineered living material which produces a plasmonic readout in response to environmental pollutants. To this aim, we will wire pollutant-responsive promoters to the production of enzymes that alter the properties of nanoparticles to generate a plasmonic readout. As plasmonic responses provide a strong optical signal, we anticipate the possibility to remotely detect the presence of specific analytes.
