Synthetic biology tools have accelerated the generation of simple mutants, but combinatorial testing remains challenging. High-throughput methods struggle translating from proof-of-principle molecules to advanced bioproducts. We address this challenge with a biosensor-driven strategy for enhanced isoprenol production in Pseudomonas putida, a key precursor for sustainable aviation fuel and platform chemicals. This biosensor leverages P. putidas native response to short-chain alcohols via a previously uncharacterized hybrid histidine kinase signaling cascade. Refactoring the biosensor for a conditional growth-based selection enabled identification of competing cellular processes with a [~]16,500-member CRISPRi-library. An iterative combinatorial strain engineering approach yielded an integrated P. putida strain producing [~]900 mg/L isoprenol in glucose minimal medium, a 36-fold increase. Ensemble -omics analysis revealed metabolic rewiring, including amino acid accumulation as key drivers of enhanced production. Techno-economic analysis elucidated the path to economic viability and confirmed the benefits of adding amino acids outweigh the additional costs. This study establishes a robust biosensor driven approach for optimizing other heterologous pathways, accelerating microbial cell factory development.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
