| Summary: | Human activities have brought environmental
pollution which biosensors can be effective tools to detect the
presence of these pollutants. Whole cell biosensor is a category in
biosensor design which cells are used as bioreporters, which can be
coupled with different types of transducers. To date, many types of
cells have been used in biosensor applications with the capability to
detect vast range of pollutants, from heavy metals and pesticides, to
biochemical oxygen demand. In this paper, several types of cellsbacteria,
cyanobacteria, algae, plant cells, fungi, and protozoa, which
were utilized in biosensors designed for environmental applications
are reported. The possibility for further development of whole cellbased
biosensors is review as well. |
