This study was undertaken to investigate the possibility that mechanisms other than cholinesterase (ChE) inhibition account for the acute toxicity of organophosphorus insecticide.
Both the P = O type insecticide (direct ChE inhibitors: chlorfenvinphos and dichlorvos) and the P = S type insecticide (indirect ChE inhibitors: diazinon and fenthion) were employed.

The developed sensor has been compared with those based on the widely used Electric eel cholinesterase and a classical entrapment procedure in a polyvinylalcohol-based matrix.
The oriented and site-specific immobilisation combined with the high specificity of the B349 mutant allows a more sensitive detection of insecticides, concentrations as low as 1.31 (-11) M (IC10) being detected for both pesticides chlorpyriphos-oxon and chlorfenvinphos.
