PCT No. PCT/EP92/00445 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 27, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 27, 1993 PCT Filed Feb. 28, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO92/15687 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 17, 1993The invention relates to a fused gene containing: the promoter sequence of (a) gene(s) encoding the resistance to one or several metal(s) or encoding the catabolism of one or several xenobiotic compound(s), said promoter being inducible in the presence of said metal(s) or xenobiotic compound(s), or both, and downstream the promoter, a gene producing a detectable signal such as light emitting gene, said gene being under the control of said promoter, said gene producing a detectable signal being located at a position such that the induction of the promoter causes the transcription of the gene producing a detectable signal and such that there is no terminator between the promoter and the gene producing a detectable signal. |
