Abstract
Biology-based processes for detecting toxic substances are provided. The processes comprise transforming cells with a vector comprising a polynucleotide which comprises a promoter of certain yeast gene operably linked to a polynucleotide encoding a marker protein; contacting the transformed cells to test sample; and detecting the expression of mRNA encoding the marker protein, thus detecting a toxic compound in the test sample.
