Visando a construção de três biossensores bacterianos para os metais mercúrio, arsênio e chumbo, Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 foi escolhida para obtenção dos fragmentos de DNA (por PCR) correspondentes aos operons mer, ars e pbr. Os fragmentos foram inseridos à montante do gene EGFP, no plasmídeo pBB-EGFP, obtendo três novos plasmídeos: pGHg, pGAs e pGPb. Estes foram clonados em C. metallidurans CH34 e Escherichia coli DH5<font face=\"Symbol\">α. As linhagens recombinantes foram submetidas a várias situações de cultivo e diferentes intensidades de fluorescência, detectadas em microscopia e quantificadas por citometria de fluxo. As linhagens recombinantes C. metallidurans CH34 / pGHg, E. coli DH5<font face=\"Symbol\">α / pGHg, C. metallidurans CH34 / pGAs e C. metallidurans CH34 / pGPb mostraram-se eficazes e, consequentemente, poderão ser utilizadas em rápidos diagnósticos de amostras contaminadas por mercúrio, arsênio e chumbo. / Aiming at the construction of three bacterial biosensors for metals mercury, arsenic and lead, Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 was chosen to obtain the DNA fragments (by PCR) corresponding to operons mer, ars and pbr. The fragments were inserted upstream of the EGFP gene, in plasmid pBB-EGFP, getting three new plasmids: pGHg, pGAs and pGPb. They were cloned in C. metallidurans CH34 and Escherichia coli DH5<font face=\"Symbol\">α. The recombinant strains were subjected to various conditions of cultivation. Different intensities of fluorescence were detected microscopy and quantified by flow cytometry. The recombinant strains C. metallidurans CH34 / pGHg, E. coli DH5<font face=\"Symbol\">α / pGHg, C. metallidurans CH34 / pGAs and C. metallidurans CH34 / pGPb were effective and therefore may be used in rapid diagnosis of samples contaminated by mercury, arsenic and lead.
