Chromatophores as cell-based biosensors for the detection of chemically and biologically toxic substances

Creator:

Dukovcic, Stephanie R.

Abstract:

Cell-based biosensors are function-based detectors that use the physiological response of a living cell to sense biologically stimulating agents. This emerging technology extends the application of current detection methods by reporting on the toxicity of a sample and the potential to cause disease. Previously, Betta splendens erythrophores have been described...
