How Dangerous Aflatoxin for Our Bodies?

Aflatoxins are carcinogenic and mutagenic, heat stable (237-289oC), and can accumulate through the food chain. The presence of aflatoxins especially aflatoxin B1 on food such as peanuts...

Aflatoxin Whole Cell Biosensor

Not only for our health, Aflatoxin exposure can become serious problems for economics and food security in certain developing countries. Legumes is still an alternative staple food after rice and tubers...

Why Must be Whole Cells Biosensor ?

Accuracy and rapidity in monitoring toxin compounds, pollutants, or the presence of a pathogen in the environment became an important point from a measuring device (sensor). In the process of monitoring a toxin...

Project Safety

An economical and easy-to-use biosensor could reduce the chance of being poisoned by arsenic – a common contaminant of wells in parts of Asia. The modified bacteria will turn green when arsenic
