Development of a bacterial-based tetrazolium dye (MTT) assay for monitoring of heavy metals
An inhibitive assay for metals using a bacterial respiratory assay system is presented. The assay is based on the ability of bacteria to reduce the water soluble tetrazolium dye (MTT). The isolate was tentatively identified as Bacillus sp. strain Khayat. The Bacillus sp based MTT assay is sensitive...
