The Te-Assay: a black and white method for environmental sample pre-screening exploiting tellurite reduction.

Journal of microbiological methods - 1 Dec 2006

Lloyd-Jones Gareth, Williamson Wendy M, Slootweg Tineke

Abstract excerpt

We present the tellurite bioassay (Te-Assay) as an alternative approach for quantification of cell viability. The Te-Assay was developed to pre-screen environmental samples for potential bacterial toxicants in which the reduction of tellurite to tellurium is used as a metabolic marker; black phenotype development only occurs in metabolically competent bacteria capable of reducing tellurite (TeO(3)(2-)) to...
