Microbial Biosensors as Pesticide Detector: An Overview

Farmers are highly dependent upon agrochemicals to boost crop production through soil fertilization and insect pests, pathogens, parasites, weeds management . However, contentious application of on the farm has aggravated residual accumulation become problematic for environmental safety besides causing disease humans other animals. Thus, analysis chemical residues from environment is vital policymakers communities. Mostly, chemists were devoted analyzing existing contaminants different sources by using sophisticated chromatographic equipment, although it time taking, laborious, costly, that required well-trained professionals. biosensors more important analyze samples various bioreporters integrated with electrochemical optical transducers. Microbes metabolically diverse, amenable genetic engineering, cost effective in culturing, tolerant diverse conditions. microbial biosensor capturing attention becoming monitoring. Therefore, this review assessed implication pesticide detection role engineering strain improvement.
