Abstract

Ten strains of the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica were constructed, the genomes of which contain hrGFP gene under the regulation of the formate dehydrogenase promoters. The resulting strains can act as whole-cell biosensors for the detection of formate ions in various mediums. By visual assessment of biomass fluorescence, we selected the three most promising yeast strains. The main biosensor characteristics (threshold sensitivity, amplitude and response time) of the selected strains were measured. As a result, in terms of characteristics, the B26 strain was recognized as the most suitable for the detection of formate ions. A carbon source for the nutrient medium that does not reduce the activation of the biosensor was selected. Furthermore, we showed that unlike formate and formaldehyde, methanol practically does not induce the biosensor fluorescence response.
