Abstract: A remote detection system for in-situ monitoring of the bioluminescence produced by a microbial `reporter' strain grown in rotary film bioreactors has been developed. Two systems were developed: one using a low-temperature photomultiplier, and one using an avalanche photodiode. The photodiode system was preferred for its sensitivity and portability. Testing was performed on a recombinant constitutive light producing strain. The results indicate that the optical monitor is sensitive enough for direct microbial detection for hazardous waste application.
