Detection of genetically engineered traits among bacteria in the environment.
The release of genetically engineered microorganisms (GEMs) into the environment has, as its main aims, the benefits of improved agricultural yield and control of environmental pollution. However, effective and safe release programmes necessitate the development of sensitive, selective detection methods to monitor the environmental impact of released organisms.
