Strategies for enhancing bioluminescent bacterial sensor performance by promoter region manipulation.

Abstract excerpt

Bioluminescent bacterial sensors are based upon the fusion of bacterial bioluminescence (lux) genes, acting as a reporter element, to selected bacterial stress-response gene promoters. Depending upon the nature of the promoter, the resulting constructs react to diverse types of environmental stress, including the presence of toxic chemicals, by dose-dependant light emission. Two bacterial sensors, harbouring...
