Abstract
The coupled bioluminescent enzyme system luciferase-NADH:FMN-oxidoreductase was used as a biotest in ecological monitoring of the health resort salt l ake Shira (South Siberia, Russia). The technique was adapted to saltwater c onditions. Bioluminescence kinetic parameters sensitive to pollutants were determined. Conditions for the use of bacterial bioluminescence biotests in salty environmental media were established. Copyright (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
