SBIR Phase I: Development of an Indole Biosensor Using Insect Chemosensory Proteins

这项小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段研究项目旨在开发一种基于细菌生产吲哚的供水系统中大肠杆菌的快速、灵敏检测系统。该方法利用了对少量吲哚敏感的化学感觉蛋白。拟议的技术将使供水的大肠杆菌污染测试成为可能，因此应该提供重大的公共卫生效益。

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I research project aims to develop a rapid and sensitive detection system for Escherichia coli in water supplies, based on the production of indole by bacteria. The methodology takes advantage of chemosensory proteins that are sensitive to low quantities of indoles. The proposed technology will enable testing of water supplies for E. coli contamination, and as such should provide a significant public health benefit.
