Resumen:
IMPORTANTE: CHECA SK ES AUTOR DE CORRESPONDENCIA UNICO EN ESTA PUBLICACIÓN. Calification SCImago-Q1, IF (2014) 6.834. Bacterial biosensors are simple, cost-effective and efficient analytical tools for detecting bioavailable heavy metals in the environment. This work presents the design, construction and calibration of a novel whole-cell fluorescence biosensory device that, simultaneously and with high sensitivity, reports the presence of toxic mercury, lead, cadmium and/or gold ions in aqueous samples. This bio-reporter can be easily applied as immediate alerting tool for the presence of harmful pollutants in drinking water.
