A yeast assay based on the gilthead sea bream (teleost fish) estrogen receptor ß for monitoring estrogen mimics

A yeast(Saccharomyces cerevisiae)-based assay was developed and tested with steroids and chemicals (mostly pesticides). The induction of b-galactosidase activity was strictly dependent on the presence of seabream (Sparus aurata) ba estrogen receptor(sbERba) and substances known to have estrogenic ac...
