[Application of Whole-cell Biosensor ADP1_pWHlux for Acute Toxicity Detection in Water Environment].

A whole-cell biosensor acinetobacter ADP1_pWHlux was constructed by genetic engineering for detecting acute toxicity, so as to overcome the harsh application conditions when detecting acute toxicity using natural luminescent bacteria or whole-cell biosensor constructed by model microorganisms as the host cell. Detection methods, detection sensitivity and detection range of acinetobacter ADP1_pWHlux were studied. The results showed that the luminescence of ADP1_pWHlux was inhibited by acute poison, poison dose and inhibition of luminescence exhibit dose-response relationship. ADPL_pWHlux was respond to 4 mg x L(-1) HgCl2 within 5 min. The detection limit for HgCl2 was 0.04 mg x L(-1). The detectable effects for indicators of Be2+, Ba2+, Cu2+, Ni2+ in standards for drinking water quality were obvious. The detection range of Be2+, Ba2+, Cu2+ were 0.025-250 mg x L(-1), the detection range of Ni2+, was 0.0025-250 mg x L(-1), the detection limit of Pb2+, BrO3(-) , ClO2(-) were 0.002 5 mg x L(-1), the detection limit of ClO3(-) was 0.025 mg x L(-1). The whole-cell biosensor ADPl_pWHlux detection method has been applied to evaluate acute toxicity in water environment of Qinghe river in Beijing, indicating the established method can be used to detect contaminated water samples.
