Chips, guts, and gas: unraveling volatile microbial mysteries in real time!

Trends Biotechnol. 2023 Dec 28:S0167-7799(23)00362-1. doi: 10.1016/j.tibtech.2023.12.009. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTExploring the gastrointestinal role of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is difficult because of its volatility and the absence of a precisely controllable model system for manipulating the gut environment. Hayes et al. address this issue by engineering Escherichia coli to titrate H2S levels in a gas-impermeable gut-on-chip device.PMID:38158308 | DOI:10.1016/j.tibtech.2023.12.009
