A bioluminescence detection system using Pseudomonas fluorescens HK44 was applied for naphthalene measurement in the range 0–0.5mgl−1, lower than the maximum of 1mgl−1 recommended by EPA. Diluted sample injections of naphthalene were added to 0.2 or 0.4gl−1 cellular concentrations used in the detect...
