Presented here are two engineered bacterial biosensors for detecting and quantifying silver and copper ions. The biosensors contain a silver/copper resistance operon and a Green Fluorescent Protein gene that is strictly regulated through silver activated promoter regions normally found on a silver resistance gene (sil operon). The two biosensors efficiently detected silver and copper concentrations of 40 mu M-300 mu M and 20 mu M-600 mu M respectively. A strong correlation (R-2=0.90 or above) between silver/copper and GFP signal makes it possible to quantify the ions using a linear regression. At room temperature incubation, the GFP signal of the biosensors in Ag+ saturated after 13h. However, a detectable GFP signal was seen in 4h.
