We report the development of new chemical probes for cereulide, a toxic metabolite produced by specific strains of <i>Bacillus cereus</i>, through displacement of potassium cations from a preformed specific complex and a subsequent change in the fluorescence emission. For this purpose, we designed fluorescent probes for potassium cations that were suitable for displacement assays with cereulide from organic extracts. The fluorescence detection of natural cereulide in rice samples was achieved by ...[more]
