ABSTRACT The accumulated organic form of selenium previously detected by X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) analyses in Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 exposed to selenite or selenate was identified as seleno-l-methionine by coupling high-performance liquid chromatography to inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry.

Abstract Background: A bacterial biosensor refers to genetically engineered bacteria that produce an assessable signal in the presence of a physical or chemical agent in the environment.Methods: We have designed and evaluated a bacterial biosensor expressing a luciferase-reporter gene controlled by pbr and cadA promoters in Cupriavidus metallidurans (previously termed Ralstonia metallidurans ) containing the CH34 and pI258 plasmids of Staphylococcus aureus , respectively, and that can be used for the detection of heavy metals. In the present study, we have produced and evaluated biosensor plasmids designated pGL3-luc/pbr -biosensor and pGL3-luc/cad -biosensor, that were based on the expression of luc+ under the control of the cad promoter and the cadC gene of S. aureus plasmid pI258 and pbr promoter and pbrR gene from plasmid pMOL30 of Cupriavidus metallidurans.Results: We found that the pGL3-luc/pbr -biosensor may be used to measure lead concentrations between 1-100 μM in the presence of other metals, including: zinc, cadmium, tin and nickel. The latter metals did not result in any significant signal gene expression of the reporter. The pGL3-luc/cad -biosensor could detect lead concentrations between 10 nM to 10 μM.Conclusions: This biosensor was found to be a specific for measuring lead ions in both environmental and biological samples.
