The umu-lux test is a genotoxicity test using the two genetically modified Salmonella typhimuriumTA1535 strains (TL210 and TL210ctl) transformed with the luxC, D, A, B, E (luciferase gene and fatty acid reductase genes) of Vibrio fischeri as a reporter gene. The TL210 strain detects genotoxicants and the TL210ctl strain detect cytotoxicants. In order to develop a highly sensitive, simple, and rapid genotoxicity detection system, the biosensor using these immobilized strains was developed. .

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
