Along with an increasing concern about anthropogenic environmental contamination new approaches for routine monitoring and analysis of toxic substances are required. In recent years, biosensors are discussed as an alternative technology in the analysis of environmental perturbations. Regarding the potential of algal diversity in biotechnology, this project aimed at utilising the advantages of biosensors incorporating microalgae. |
Based on immobilised microalgae, the purpose of our work is the design of a fast-responsive biosensor system for toxic compounds. The study focuses on the detection of airborne volatile organic toxins and toxic compounds in water. A novel concept for the identification of toxicants by an algal sensor chip (ASC) is currently being developed.
