Abstract
Over the last 30 years, numerous scientific publications have described the design, construction, testing, and characterization of diverse whole-cell bioreporter strains for the detection and quantification of organic pollutants. In this chapter we attempt to review these reports, providing the relevant information regarding the sensor strains’ construction principles and performance characteristics, with a special emphasis on the detection thresholds of either specific target compounds or classes of such chemicals.
