Application

Application Comment Organism
analysis replacement of hsdA gene by the green fluorescent protein gene inserted downstream from the hsdA regulatory region and use of the resulting strain as fluorescence based biosensor system for steroid determination. With this cell-based system, testosterone can be determined in a range between 57 and 450 ng/ml, estradiol between 1.6 and 12.8 ng/ml, and cholesterol between 19.3 and 154.4 ng/nl. The sensitivity of this bioassay can be further increased by using only the cytosol of the mutant. With the resulting cell-free system testosterone is determined in a range between 28 and 219 pg/ml, estradiol between 0.029 and 0.430 fg/ml, and cholesterol between 9.7 and 77.2 fg/ml. The recovery ratio of the extraction is around 95% and the maximum fluorescence signals are obtained as early as after 30 min. Limitations of the established steroid biosensor system are quenching at higher steroid concentrations and the relatively high background of fluorescence Comamonas testosteroni
environmental protection the mutant Comamonas testosteroni strain CT-GFP5-1 can be used as a sensitive biosensor system for steroid determination in the environment Comamonas testosteroni
