A novel optical biosensor for in situ and small-scale monitoring of bacterial transport in saturated columns.

Published in Journal of Environmental Management

In situ monitoring techniques can provide new insight into bacterial transport after inoculating exogenous bacteria into contaminated soils for bioremediation. A real-time and non-destructive optical sensor (the optrode) was employed to monitor in situ transport of two fluorescently labelled bacteria - Green Fluorescent Protein (Gfp)-labelled, hydr...
