Cd(II) dependent bioreporter response. a Schematic representation of the recombinant vector used to transform T. thermophilus HB27 and TTC0354::pK18. b β-gal activity expressed in % MU of T. thermophilus HB27-pMHTtarsXpbgaA-nqoTtSmtB treated or not with 10, 20 and 100 µM of CdCl2. c β-gal activity expressed in % MU of T. thermophilus TTC0354::pK18-pMHTtarsXpbgaA-nqoTtSmtB treated or not with 10, 20 and 100 µM of cadmium. Statistical analysis was performed using a Student’s t test; significant differences are indicated as: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001
