[Obtaining bioluminescent bacterial strains for detection of thallium ions].

Abstract excerpt

The possibility of Alcaligenes eutrophus T1 luxphenotype creation by temperature induced mutagenesis has been shown. These mutants are able to emit light after induction by thallium ions. This biological method of thallium detection possesses high specificity and sensitivity (0.5 microM of metal). Such microbial cells can be used to quantify bioavailability of thallium part in the environment.
