Bacterial biosensors and chemical detection, progress report

This progress report describes works that have been done during January to June 2002. Description of theoretical background for use of Bacterial Biosensors for detection of mined areas. Work and results carried out during the period are described. Work with development of analytical methods for soil and air samples and also development of more sensitive analytical methods are in progress.
