The Development of a Bacterial Biosensor Designed to Detect Oxidative Chemicals in Water: Correlating Sensor Relevance to Mammalian Brain Cells and Assessing Bacterial Cell Immobilization Strategies
Oxidative stress-inducing chemical contamination in the environment is a significant concern for public health. The depletion of antioxidants by these chemicals results in oxidative stress which may cause detrimental effects in many cell types. For example, multiple stress responses may be activat...
