According to recent research from Sheffield, the United Kingdom, "In a study to optimize bacterial whole cell biosensors (bioreporters) for the detection of environmental contaminants, we constructed a toxicity sensing strain Acinetobacter bay/yi ADP1_recA_lux. The ADP1_recA_lux is a chromosomally based bioreporter which makes the sensing system stable and negates the need for antibiotics to maintain the trait."
"The ADP1_recA_lux is activated to express bioluminescence when it is exposed to DNA damaging toxicants. Since the ADP1_recA_lux constantly expresses a baseline level of bioluminescence, false negative results are avoided. The host strain, A. bay/yi ADP1, ...
