Key Points

This research aims to develop a method for rapidly identifying toxicants in water using whole-cell surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) fingerprints.
Developed whole-cell SERS technique to analyze water samples.
Conducted bioassays for effect-based assessment of toxicity.
Compared targeted chemical analysis with SERS results.
Demonstrated the ability to identify mixtures of pollutants effectively.
Showed that SERS fingerprints can provide information on toxicity.
Established a faster identification process for water contaminants.

Implication

Effect-based bioassays reveal toxicants in water, indicating faster identification of harmful substances.

Abstract

Effect-based bioassays provide rapid warning of adverse impact but rarely identify the causative stressor, whereas targeted chemical analysis identifies selected pollutants yet offers limited toxicity information, particularly for mixtures. Here,...
