Whole Cell-based Biosensors for Environmental Heavy Metals Detection

Siok Chin Teo & Ling Shing Wong · Annual Research & Review in Biology · 2014

Biosensors have emerged as new alternatives in environmental toxicity assessment. In the development of biosensors for heavy metals detection in environment, whole cells are highly favored as these cells are able to reflect the real toxicity effects of heavy metals to living orga...
