Abstract

Bioreporters have been widely acknowledged to represent new and novel approaches in applied microbiology. Despite a plethora of constructions covering a diverse range of detection devices and host organisms, genuine applications are rare. Here, their application in the areas of general environmental microbiology, analytical detection and bioremediation are summarised and critically considered. Future applications require a more integrated approach such that those constructing bioreporters are aware of the needs of the end-user. A decade ago, predictions were made of the pivotal role of bioreporters and our future reliance; this fortune telling may take another decade to reach fruition.

摘要

生物报告器已被广泛认为是应用微生物学中的新方法和新技术。尽管有许多不同的检测设备和宿主生物体的结构，但真正的应用却很少。在这里，我们总结并批判性地考虑了它们在一般环境微生物学、分析检测和生物修复领域的应用。未来的应用需要更综合的方法，以便构建生物报告器的人能够了解最终用户的需求。十年前，人们就曾预测生物报告器将发挥关键作用，我们未来也将依赖它；也许再过十年，这个预言才能成为现实。
