The state-of-the-art in bioluminescent whole-cell biosensor technology for detecting various organic compounds in oil and grease content in wastewater: From the lab to the field

Oil and grease content in wastewater is used as an environmental monitoring parameter in the oil and gas industry to prevent serious pollution. Conventional oil and grease laboratory testing is time-consuming and necessitates the use of a hazardous chemical solvent, resulting in non-real-time test d...
