	<htmltext>It looks like the University of Edinburgh entered this project in the International Genetically Engineered Machine competition, so they have a <a href="http://2009.igem.org/Team:Edinburgh" title="igem.org">project page</a> [igem.org] with a lot of information.  From what I gather, it would appear that the system is based on a system of enzymes that break down soil nitrites which have been linked to Green Fluorescent Protein.  Nitrites are a natural byproduct of the breakdown of nitro-based explosives like TNT and PETN.  Of course, soil nitrites from non-leaking landmine sources, like chemical fertilizers would also trigger fluorescence, so the team engineered a non-natural gene promoter protein.  The genes to produce the fluorescent complex only get transcribed and translated into protein if the promoter is active.  The activator for that promoter is a molecule of TNT, so the bacteria will only glow if TNT is present.
<br> <br>
I'd also encourage people to take a look at the other iGEM <a href="http://ung.igem.org/Results?year=2009" title="igem.org">projects</a> [igem.org].  Lots of interesting reading.</htmltext>
