A comparative study of fish coloration and toxicant responses in a chromatophore cell-based biosensor

Creator:

Roach, Holly B.

Abstract:

Detection of both biological and chemical environmental toxicants is essential in the assessment of risk to human health. Cell-based biosensors are capable of activity- based detection of toxicity. Chromatophore cells, responsible for the pigmentation of poikilothermic animal, have shown immense potential as cell-based biosensors in the detection of a broad...

The role of Salmonella typhimurium type three secretion system (T3SS) and effector proteins in chromatophore cell response.

Creator:

Farhad, Mohammad

Abstract:

Bacterial contamination of food poses a great risk to human health worldwide. A chromatophore cell-based biosensor, utilizing B. splendens erythrophore cells, is an emerging technology that has shown potential to detect bacterial toxicity based on function-dependent mechanisms. Previous studies have investigated the response of erythrophore cells to foodborne pathogens, pesticides,...

Classification of toxins using orthogonal sensing techniques

Creator:

Vissvesvaran, Ganesh Prasadh

Abstract:

High specificity to certain class of chemical and biological agents makes biosensors unreliable for the detection of unknown agents. Also, the analytical techniques are subject to systematic errors based on the mechanism of detection leading to false negative and false positive results. Therefore, the results of these analyses must be...
