Beetroot-pigment-derived colorimetric sensor for detection of calcium dipicolinate in bacterial spores.
In this proof-of-concept study, we describe the use of the main red beet pigment betanin for the quantification of calcium dipicolinate in bacterial spores, including Bacillus anthracis. In the presence of europium(III) ions, betanin is converted to a water-soluble, non-luminescent orange 1∶1 comple...
