Fig. 2From: Assessing bioavailability and genotoxicity of heavy metals and metallic nanoparticles simultaneously using dual-sensing Escherichia coli whole-cell bioreportersRelationship between the bioavailability and genotoxicity of heavy metals. (A) The SF of eGFP from WCBs exposed to heavy metal ions and MMC was plotted against exposure duration. MMC was used as a reference genotoxin. (B) The induction coefficient of mCherry of WCBs exposed to heavy metals and MMC. The fluorescence mCherry signal was measured at 570/610 nm excitation/emission wavelengthsBack to article page
