title: Bioluminescent water quality monitoring of salt lake Shira.
abstract: The coupled bioluminescent enzyme system luciferase-NADH:FMN-oxidoreductase was used as a biotest in ecological monitoring of the health resort salt lake Shira (South Siberia, Russia). The technique was adapted to saltwater conditions. Bioluminescence kinetic parameters sensitive to pollutants were determined. Conditions for the use of bacterial bioluminescence biotests in salty environmental media were established.
