제목 Bacterial Cell Arrays for Environmental Toxicity Analysis
초록 In this study, whole cell based cell arrays were fabricated in a chip and 384-well plate by using immobilization technique and recombinant bioluminescent bacteria to detect and classify environmental toxicity. About 2ul of the cell-agar mixture was deposited into the wells of either a cell chip or a 384-well plate. Twenty strains having different stress promoters were used to detect toxicity. Bioluminescence (BL) from the cell arrays was measured with a highly sensitive cooled CCD camera that measures the BL signal from the immobilized cells and quantifies the pixel density using image analysis software. Three chemicals that cause superoxide damage (paraquat), DNA damage (mitomycin C) or protein/membrane damage (salicylic acid) were tested with the cell arrays and depending on the promoter fused upstream of the lux operon, each immobilized strain showed a specific BL response. These arrays could be employed for high-throughput environmental toxicity analysis and used as portable and disposable environmental biosensors due to its small size, ease handling, simple analysis and low cost.
