Analysis of bioavailable toluene by using recombinant luminescent bacterial biosensors with different promoters

Abstract In this study, we constructed recombinant luminescent Escherichia coli with T7, T3, and SP6 promoters inserted between tol and lux genes as toluene biosensors and evaluated their sensitivity, selectivity, and specificity for measuring bioavailable toluene in groundwater and river water. The...
