A panel of bioluminescent whole-cell bacterial biosensors for the screening for new antibacterial substances from natural extracts.

Abstract:

:Whole-cell bacterial biosensors can be applied for the screening of antibacterial properties of extracts. We constructed a biosensor panel consisting of four different bacterial biosensor strains: Escherichia, Staphylococcus, Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas for expanded screening potential. The functionality of the panel was first evaluated with known antibacterial compounds: ethanol, naphthoquinones (juglone, lawsone, plumbagin) and a flavonoid (quercetin). Natural extracts comprise a vast source of potential new antibacterials for diverse functional purposes. To demonstrate the utilization of the panel for screening of a demanding sample material, round-leaved sundew (Drosera rotundifolia) extracts were used as an example. Differences between field- and laboratory originating sundew extracts could be detected. This demonstrates the efficiency of the developed biosensor panel in the rapid screening of the antibacterial properties of plant extracts.
