This work investigates the ability of laser-based, time-resolved fluorometry to detect the lactose operon genetic marker in microorganisms and to study protein-DNA interactions. In the first study, rapid detection of the Escherichia coli lacZY operon inserted in two strains of Pseudomonas proposed as fungal biological control organisms was achieved. Optimization of incubation time, immobilization apparatus size, and reagent volumes, along with the laser-based instrumentation, yielded an assay capable of detecting 104 immobilized lac+ Pseudomonas fluorescens cells within a 30-min incubation time. In the second study, the synthesis of E. coli β-galactosidase was monitored in "realtime" with observable enzymatic activity beginning 4 to 5 min after induction with isopropyithiogalactoside.Copyright 1993, 1999 Academic Press |
