ATP-TOX system - a bacterial toxicity screening procedure / by Hao Xu and B.J. Dutka.: En13-5/86-95E-PDF

"When rapidly growing bacterial cells are exposed to low concentrations of toxicants, growth inhibition usually occurs. However, some toxicants not only inhibit bacterial growth but also affect the luciferase activity during ATP determinations. Thus, the observed light output reduction of a test bacterial system is the net result of both bacterial growth and luciferase inhibition. Based on this information, a new toxicity screening test was developed, the ATP-TOX System"--Abstract.
