Three cadmium biosensors were exposed to a range of metal ions at 5 μM. After induction with 5 μM various metal ions at 30oC for 20 h, three kinds of reporter signals were determined. The bottom panels are the typical photographs of induced E. coli biosensors with 5 μM corresponding metal ions. (A) TOP10/pPcad-RFP. (B) TOP10/pPcad-RFP-GFP. (C) TOP10/pPcad-RFP-GFP-lacZα. Fluorescence intensity and enzymatic activity values were normalized using the absorbance at 600 nm. Data are representative of three independent experiments, and values are expressed as mean ± SD.
