1. A first nucleic acid molecule comprising:
a first synthetic bioswitch; and
a first heterologous nucleic acid;
wherein the first synthetic bioswitch is operably linked to the first heterologous nucleic acid and comprises a first control element that is regulated by a first stimulus; and
wherein the first synthetic bioswitch comprises the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 45, SEQ ID NO: 46, SEQ ID NO: 47, SEQ ID NO: 48, SEQ ID NO: 49, or SEQ ID NO: 50.
