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...

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,...
