Pollution in rapidly urbanising cities and in delta systems is a serious problem that blights the lives and livelihoods of millions of people, damaging and restricting potable water supply and supplies to industry (Whitehead et al, 2015, 2018). Employing new technology based on luminescent molecular...

A test kit based on living, lyophilized bacterial bioreporters emitting bioluminescence as a response to arsenite and arsenate was applied during a field campaign in six villages across Bangladesh. Bioreporter field measurements of arsenic in groundwater from tube wells were in satisfying agreement ...

This review focuses recent contributions in the development of the electrochemical biosensors for hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), based on the Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) and Hemoglobin (Hb) modified electrodes. Various modified electrodes have been used for the determination of H 2 O 2 by using elec...

Substituted p-phenylenediamines (PPDs), a class of antioxidants, have been widely used to extend the lifespan of rubber products, such as tires and pipes. During use, PPDs will generate their quinone derivatives (PPD-Qs). In recent years, PPDs and PPD-Qs have been detected in the global environment....

The progress of genetically engineered microbial whole-cell biosensors for chemosensing and monitoring has been developed in the last 20 years. Those biosensors respond to target chemicals and produce output signals, which offer a simple and alternative way of assessment approaches. As actual pollut...

Reactive red 2 (RR2) is a highly recalcitrant and toxic azo dye that can cause the collapse of biological treatment system. Although MFC can decolorize RR2 effectively, its performance is still inevitably affected by toxicity. Anthraquinone can enhance MFCs' performance through mediating electron tr...

We sought to develop a whole-cell biosensor for the detection of arsenic in drinking water, a major problem in Bangladesh and West Bengal. In contrast to previously described systems, our biosensor would give a pH change as output, allowing simple detection with a pH electrode or pH indicator soluti...

Problem statement: Pyrosequencing has the potential to rapidly and reliably sequence DNA taking advantages over traditional Sanger di-deoxy sequencing approach. Approach: A comprehensive review of the literature on the principles, applications, challenges and prospects of pyrosequencing was performe...

STUDY DESIGN: Work presented here used a small animal model to demonstrate the feasibility and usefulness of in vivo bioluminescent imaging to studying degenerative disc disease. OBJECTIVES: To determine the utility of in vivo bioluminescent imaging to monitor the temporal and spatial expression of ...

Genetically modified bacterial biosensors can detect specific environmental compounds. Here, we attempted to establish a fluorescent microplate method to detect arsenic using recombinant Escherichia coli cells transformed with plasmids harboring three tandem copies of the ars promoter/operator-the g...

Effluents from hospitals and slaughterhouses are alarming threat for clinician to treat the patient with antibiotics due to harboring resistance bacteria. The study was undertaken to evaluate the antimicrobial resistance pattern against Staphylococcus aureus in hospital and slaughterhouse effluents....

Luminescent phenomena have fascinated mankind since the earliest times. The light from the aurora borealis, glow worms, luminescent wood, rotting fish and meat are all examples of naturally occurring luminescence. E. Newton Harvey’s 770 page volume “A History of Luminescence: From the Earliest Times...

Abstract An immature understanding of the mechanisms of persistent luminescence (PersL) has hindered the development of new persistent luminescent materials (PersLMs) with increased brightness. In this regard, in-situ direct current (DC) electric field measurements were conducted on a layered struct...
