MICRO ORGANISMS BASED BIOSENSORS

Im Giving an outline 4 answering the topic:

Definition of Biosensor
Components of a Biosensor
Microorganisms as the biologicalMaterial
[ The mechanisms employed with these biosensors are:

• Mechanisms in which the microbe metabolizes the analyte
• Mechanisms in which the microbes activity is affected by the analyte
• Use of Genetically Engineered microbes to recognize and report a particular analyte

I think u can build up the remaining matter in this section.]
Applications with some examples
Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages:

• Less expensive.
• influence of operating conditions on microbe activity is relatively less.
• Retain their activity 4 a long time unlike the enzyme biosensors

Disadvantages:

• Longer response time
• Relatively less specificity
