Paper published on biomonitoring of indoor air toxins with C. elegans

We have developed indoor air diagnostics with the help of fluorescent strains of transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans nematodes. When forced to either smell or taste harmful biological or chemical impurities, these nematodes produce green fluorescence, which can be easily quantitated by spectrometry and visualized by microscopy. Our methods and data on the effects of fungal or chemical toxins on the fluorescent responses and motility of nematodes have now been published in Pathogens in the special issue on Detection of Indoor Fungi.  To access the article, see https://www.mdpi.com/2076-0817/12/2/161
