Reprogramming Bacteria to Seek and Destroy a Herbicide
A major goal of synthetic biology is to reprogram cells to perform complex tasks. Here we show how a combination of in vitro and in vivo selection rapidly identifies a synthetic riboswitch that activates protein translation in response to the herbicide atrazine. We further demonstrate that this riboswitch can reprogram bacteria to migrate in the presence of atrazine. Finally, we show that incor...
متن کاملSeek and Destroy: Targeted Resource Depletion Attacks on Sensor Networks
Denial of service attacks can be catastrophic in wireless sensor networks. Typical denial of service attacks consist of either communications jamming or resource depletion through forcing continuous stimuli and communication between motes on the network. Localization is another interesting challenge in the world of sensor networks. Many applications utilizing sensor networks require that the an...
متن کاملHide and Seek: An Introduction to Steganography
S teganography is the art and science of hiding communication; a steganographic system thus embeds hidden content in unremarkable cover media so as not to arouse an eavesdropper’s suspicion. In the past, people used hidden tattoos or invisible ink to convey steganographic content. Today, computer and network technologies provide easy-to-use communication channels for steganography. Essentially,...

متن کاملBacterial responses to environmental herbicide pollutants (glyphosate and paraquat)
The toxic effect of herbicides on non- target microorganisms may influence degradation of organic matter resulting in changes to nutrient cycling. In the present study, different strains of bacteria incubated in media containing different concentrations of glyphosate and paraquat were assessed over a period of two incubation terms. The deleterious impact of the herbicide was observed as glyphos...
