Rapid and versatile colorimetric sensor based on luminescent bacterium for water comprehensive toxicity detection

Smartphone-Assisted Three Dimensional-Printed Acute Toxicity Detection: Mitigating the Impact of Sample Color

“…Commonly used organisms for toxicity detection include algae, fish, and daphnia . Their limitations generally include long time-consuming and significant individual differences. − In contrast, bioluminescent bacteria that can respond quickly have become essential for ecotoxicology research . The mechanism lies in the fact that bioluminescence is closely related to cellular metabolism, which is a sensitive indicator of the bacterial metabolic state.…”

“…8−10 In contrast, bioluminescent bacteria that can respond quickly have become essential for ecotoxicology research. 11 The mechanism lies in the fact that bioluminescence is closely related to cellular metabolism, which is a sensitive indicator of the bacterial metabolic state. Cellular activity is inhibited when toxic substances are presented, and luminescence intensity is consequently reduced.…”
