✦ Synopsis

The influence of several suites of pollutants (metallic salts, quinones, and phenols) on bacterial bioluminescence in vivo and in vitro (five test systems) was investigated. The sensitivity of bioluminescence to the different pollutants was evaluated, and inhibition constants were measured. The data obtained were shown to correlate with the physical and chemical characteristics of the substances and the structure of the bioluminescent systems. It has been found that three bioluminescent tests (water-soluble enzyme systems, immobilized enzyme systems, and bioluminescent bacteria) show higher sensitivity to pollutants and cover all types of widespread contamination. These tests were chosen as a set of bioluminescent assays for the detection of pollutants.
