摘要: Bioencapsulation of living cells into silica materials derived from the sol–gel process has resulted in novel hybrid with exciting functionalities. Despite many successes this field, long-term viability and activity encapsulated remain a significant obstacle to producing practical robust devices, e.g., whole-cell-based biosensors. We report first study on effects various media additives metabolic phase rate inducible gene expression. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) cells, genetically engineered produce yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) response galactose, were poly(glycerol) silicate matrices. Surprisingly, we find that addition components glycerol-silica matrix adversely impacted all cases studied, 1.3, 1.4, or 5.4 fold decrease after only 9 days storage matrices containing yeast pepton...
