| - | | + | |
| - | <Br>
| + | |
| - | Millions of people worldwide are exposed to toxic levels of arsenic through contaminated
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | drinking water. In last year’s project, we began the development of an E. coli-based
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | arsenic biosensor using an arsenic-induced promoter from the Registry (K190015). Like the
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Groningen Team, we found that this promoter is “leaky,” having a constant low level of
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | activity. We explored ways of reducing background activity to improve the sensitivity of
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | our device. We have built and characterized biosensors using K190015 and a number of
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | chemiluminescence generators from Vibrio fisheri and two species of fireflies. In order to
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | standardize our biosensor we have designed and built a simple luminometer. Paired with our
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | device, this can be used to inexpensively and rapidly detect arsenic in water, even by
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | people in underdeveloped parts of the world.
