ATP BIOLUMINESCENCE TECHNOLOGY [1 record]

Record 1 2010-04-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Molecular Biology
  • Biotechnology
CONT

ATP bioluminescence technology is based on the reaction of the enzyme complex luciferase-luciferin, in the presence of oxygen ans magnesium, with ATP released from microbial cells resulting in the production of light. The light emitted is proportional to the amount of ATP released.

CONT

ATP bioluminescence technology reports results in relative light units (RLUs), which indicate the general level of organix residue or soil on a given surface.

OBS

ATP: adenosine triphosphate

French

Domaine(s)
  • Biologie moléculaire
  • Biotechnologie
DEF

Méthode permettant de détecter la présence de bactéries à partir de leur contenu en ATP (adénosine triphosphate) qui est déterminé par des réactions enzymatiques produisant de la lumière (bioluminescence).

CONT

ATP-métrie par luminescence: l'ATP, qui est une source d'énergie présente dans toutes les cellules vivantes produit de la lumière en présence du complexe enzymatique luciférine-luciférase, d'oxygène et de magnésium. La quantité de lumière engendrée dépend de la quantité d'ATP et donc de la biomasse.
