Detection of DNA damage by use of Escherichia coli carrying recA'::lux, uvrA'::lux, or alkA'::lux reporter plasmids.

Plasmids were constructed in which DNA damage-inducible promoters recA, uvrA, and alkA from Escherichia coli were fused to the Vibrio fischeri luxCDABE operon. Introduction of these plasmids into E. coli allowed the detection of a dose-dependent response to DNA-damaging agents, such as mitomycin and UV irradiation. Bioluminescence was measured in real time over extended periods. The fusion of t...

Just as engineers learnt to harness the power of electrons in transistors and microchips—which revolutionized modern society—physicists and biologists are now learning how to tame photons. Their work is generating exciting new possibilities for optical microscopy, with a resolution and level of detail hitherto undreamt of. Biophotonics is a new and exciting research field that is already delive...
