Surface display of PbrR on Escherichia coli and evaluation of the bioavailability of lead associated with engineered cells in mice

Abstract Human exposure to lead mainly occurs by ingestion of contaminated food, water and soil. Blocking lead uptake in the gastrointestinal tract is a novel prevention strategy. Whole-cell biosorbent for lead was constructed with PbrR genetically engineered on the cell surface of Escherichia coli...
