A review and roadmap for developing microbial electrochemical cell-based biosensors for recalcitrant environmental contaminants, emphasis on aromatic compounds

The environmental monitoring of recalcitrant contaminants, such as aromatic compounds in water samples, became globally essential as they pose significant threats to the ecosystem and public health. More importantly, commonly-used lab-based analytical techniques, such as mass-spectrometry- and chromatography-based methods, are laborious, expensive, and time-consuming, which may not be suitable for continuous and field monitoring of these...
