Advances on using a bioluminescent microbial biosensor to detect bioavailable Hg (II) in real samples

Technology has improved human quality of life but it caused several impacts also, due to the various contaminants released in the environment. Among these contaminants, mercury is a major concern because of its high toxicity and ubiquity in the biosphere, being classified as a global pollutant. It can occur in different forms (i.e. soluble, gaseous or solid) and chemical species (e.g. Methylmer...

A bioluminescent microbial biosensor for in vitro pretreatment assessment of cytarabine efficacy in leukemia.

BACKGROUND The nucleoside analog cytarabine (Ara-C [cytosine arabinoside]) is the key agent for treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML); however, up to 30% of patients fail to respond to treatment. Screening of patient blood samples to determine drug response before commencement of treatment is needed. This project aimed to construct and evaluate a self-bioluminescent reporter strain of Escherich...
