Abstract
The quest to develop more effective and cost-efficient environmental monitoring methods has efficiently improved with high sensitivity, rapidness, and selectivity, over the traditional low detecting and analytical methods such as capillary electrophoresis, potentiometric biosensor Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM), chromatographic techniques, Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM), thermal and piezoelectric biosensors, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques. Recent advances have led to the development of improved biological sensors that exhibit the capability to detect and analyze parameters by using bio-recognition elements. These sensitive and effective biosensors at nanoparticle range are becoming more efficient and cost-effective means of monitoring food analysis and our environment. Further, the use of fluorescence in environmental monitoring systems with the aid of green fluorescence protein (GFP) and yellow fluorescence proteins (YFP), and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-based biosensors (genosensors) have now been engaged to provide a friendlier environment. Moreover, gold nanorods DNA biosensors (GNRs-DNA) are utilized for the identification of microorganisms. Another improvement is detecting bacterial cells and metabolites by nano/micro biosensors such as surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). This biosensor utilizes the spectroscopic analysis method to detect microbes, disease markers, explosives, and chemicals. In this, biosensors for food-borne diseases and environmental monitoring sensors will be evaluated and discussed and the use of genetically modified microorganisms for microbial biosensors.
