Journal ArticleDOI
Where microbiology meets microengineering: design and applications of reporter bacteria
TL;DR: The current design of bacterial bioreporters and their use in a range of assays to measure the presence of harmful chemicals in water, air, soil, food or biological specimens are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial whole-cell sensing systems of environmental pollutants
TL;DR: The stage has been set for the incorporation of genetically engineered microorganisms 'tailored' to respond in a dose-dependent manner to changes in environmental conditions into various whole-cell array formats on silicon chips, optic fibres and other configurations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survival of enteric bacteria in seawater
Yael Rozen,Shimshon Belkin +1 more
TL;DR: Using Escherichia coli as a model, a surprisingly small number of genes was found that, when mutated, significantly affect seawater sensitivity of this bacterium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of DNA damage by use of Escherichia coli carrying recA'::lux, uvrA'::lux, or alkA'::lux reporter plasmids.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the lux biosensors may have use in monitoring chemical, physical, and genotoxic agents as well as in further characterizing the mechanisms of DNA repair.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermococcus litoralis sp. nov.: A new species of extremely thermophilic marine archaebacteria
TL;DR: A new species is described, Thermococcus litoralis, which is different from the type species Thermitis celer in molecular, morphological and physiological characteristics.
