The metabolic stress response of E. coli can be used to detect heavy metal concentration
E.Coli for detection of heavy metal in surface water
The Chemical Signature of E.Coli in presence of heavy metal concentration can be used to detect heavy metal concentration in surface water as reported by Professor Regina Ragan of the Center for Complex and Active Materials, a NSF MRSEC at UC Irvine
“E. coli is a model organism for metabolic engineering and the stress respo…
