Use of Microorganisms as Bioindicators for Detection of Heavy Metals

In this study, soil bacteria were isolated and were then screened for their sensitivity to heavy metals. This study employs the tetrazolium dye MTT (3-(4,5-demethyl-thiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) where bacteria reduced the dye, causing the dye to precipitate and to become intensely...
