This is an E. coli specific sensor for hydrogen peroxide.

Based on the HyPer gene, this is an E. coli specific genetic design that allows E. coli to detect the presence of hydrogen peroxide.

Usage and Biology

Regarding the biology field, having bacteria that is able to sense the presence of hydrogen peroxide is valuable. Hydrogen peroxide in high concentrations can be deadly to bacteria and cells in general, and it is important for biologists to know the amount of hydrogen peroxide that may be building up as the cells grow. Having bacteria with the ability to determine the presence of specific concentrations of hydrogen peroxide would allow the scientists to detect potentially toxic levels of hydrogen peroxide in their experiments and work.
