Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli strains containing plasmid-borne fusions of the recA promoter-operator region to the Vibrio fischeri lux genes were previously shown to increase their luminescence in the presence of DNA damage hazards, and thus to be useful for genotoxicant detection. The present study expands previous work by demonstrating and investigating the luminescent response of these strains to ultraviolet radiation....
