Heavy Metals

Zusammenfassung in ganz wenigen Worten.


The different sensors we worked with were characterized in vivo as well as in vitro.

We tested the influence of each heavy metal on our sensors in vivo Therefore we used heavy metal concentrations based on heavy metal occurrences measured all over the world.
Adjusting the detection limit
Influence of heavy metals on the growth of E.coli KRX shown is the standard deviation of three biological replicates. For induction concentrations of 20 µg/L lead, 60 µg/L mercury, 60 µg/L chromium, 80 µg/L nickel, 40 mg/L copper which represent ten times of the WHO guideline were used.

After finding out that the tested concentrations had no negative effect on E. colis growth we started in vivo characterization
