Description We report here a new fluorometric method for monitoring atrazine uptake using a strain of Acinetobacter radioresistens. Around 40% decrease in the relative fluorescent intensity of the culture supernatant and a corresponding increase in the fluorescence in cell biomass was observed after 18 h of growth on the fluorescing substrate, which was indicative of the rapid entry of the compound into the bacterial cell. This fast and safe method is a new application in the field of environmental biotechnology and can be used as an additional approach to monitor uptake of other toxic compounds by different microorganisms and to screen for different pollutant degraders.
