BIOLUMINESCENT METHODS FOR DIRECT VISUAL DETECTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL COMPOUNDS |
摘要 |
The invention relates to devices and methods that utilize immobilized bacterial bioreporters genetically engineered to emit light visible to the naked eye in the presence of selected analytes. An exemplary bioreporter is an E. coli that has been modified to respond to mercury II as a result of incorporation of a merRop/Iux gene cassette into its genome. Systems employi ng analagously engineered microorganisms can detect selected toxins quickly without need for expensive instruments or highly trained technicians.</SDOAB >
