Modifying Baker's Yeast for Low-cost Detection of Fungal Pathogens (11 of 12)

image: The yeast-based biosensor test costs less than a penny to make and turns red when exposed to a target pathogen. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the June 28, 2017, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by N. Ostrov at Columbia University in New York, NY, and colleagues was titled, 'A modular yeast biosensor for low-cost point-of-care pathogen detection.' view more
