[PMID: 38341074 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118330] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 01/27/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024]
Abstract
Herbicides are the most widely used class of pesticides in the world. Their intensive use raises the question of their harmfulness to the environment and human health. These pollutants need to be detected at low concentrations, especially in water samples. Commonly accepted analytical techniques (HPLC-MS, GC-MS, ELISA tests) are available, but these highly sensitive and time-consuming techniques suffer from high cost and from the need for bulky equipment, user training and sample pre-treatment. Biosensors can be used as complementary early-warning systems that are less sensitive and less selective. On the other hand, they are rapid, inexpensive, easy-to-handle and allow direct detection of the sample, on-site, without any further step other than dilution. This review focuses on enzyme- and cell- (or subcellular elements) based biosensors. Different enzymes (such as tyrosinase or peroxidase) whose activity is inhibited by herbicides are presented. Photosynthetic cells such as algae or cyanobacteria are also reported, as well as subcellular elements (thylakoids, chloroplasts). Atrazine, diuron, 2,4-D and glyphosate appear as the most frequently detected herbicides, using amperometry or optical transduction (mainly based on chlorophyll fluorescence). The recent new WSSA/HRAC classification of herbicides is also included in the review.

Abstract
The onsite detection of glyphosate requires an easy-to-handle, low-cost and disposable assay for untrained users as requested by the ASSURED guidelines. A new strategy based on the expression of fusion proteins is proposed here. A glyphosate oxidase derived from Bacillus subtilis and the 6E10 variant of the dye peroxidase from Pseudomonas putida, both fused with the carbohydrate binding module (CBM) 3a from Clostridium thermocellum, were designed and expressed, leading to GlyphOx-CBM and 6E10-CBM. Cell lysates were used to immobilise both enzymes on cotton buds' heads without any purification. The cotton buds exhibit glyphosate oxidase activity when dipped into a glyphosate-contaminated water sample containing the 6E10-CBM chromogenic substrates. The chromophore could be quantified both in the solution and on the cotton buds' heads. Photography followed by image analysis allows to detect glyphosate with a linear range of 0.25-2.5 mM and a limit of detection (LoD) of 0.12 mM. When the chromogenic substrates are replaced by luminol, the chemiluminescence reaction allows the detection of glyphosate with a linear range of 2-500 μM and a LoD of 0.45 μM. No interference was observed using glyphosate analogues (glycine, sarcosine, aminomethylphosphonic acid) or other herbicides used in a mixture. Only cysteine was found to inhibit 6E10-CBM. Two river waters spiked with glyphosate lead to recoveries of 64-131%. This work describes a very easy-to-handle and inexpensive signal-on bioassay for glyphosate detection in real surface water samples.

Abstract
The present article critically and comprehensively reviews the most recent reports on smart sensors for determining glyphosate (GLP), an active agent of GLP-based herbicides (GBHs) traditionally used in agriculture over the past decades. Commercialized in 1974, GBHs have now reached 350 million hectares of crops in over 140 countries with an annual turnover of 11 billion USD worldwide. However, rolling exploitation of GLP and GBHs in the last decades has led to environmental pollution, animal intoxication, bacterial resistance, and sustained occupational exposure of the herbicide of farm and companies' workers. Intoxication with these herbicides dysregulates the microbiome-gut-brain axis, cholinergic neurotransmission, and endocrine system, causing paralytic ileus, hyperkalemia, oliguria, pulmonary edema, and cardiogenic shock. Precision agriculture, i.e., an (information technology)-enhanced approach to crop management, including a site-specific determination of agrochemicals, derives from the benefits of smart materials (SMs), data science, and nanosensors. Those typically feature fluorescent molecularly imprinted polymers or immunochemical aptamer artificial receptors integrated with electrochemical transducers. Fabricated as portable or wearable lab-on-chips, smartphones, and soft robotics and connected with SM-based devices that provide machine learning algorithms and online databases, they integrate, process, analyze, and interpret massive amounts of spatiotemporal data in a user-friendly and decision-making manner. Exploited for the ultrasensitive determination of toxins, including GLP, they will become practical tools in farmlands and point-of-care testing. Expectedly, smart sensors can be used for personalized diagnostics, real-time water, food, soil, and air quality monitoring, site-specific herbicide management, and crop control.

Abstract
Glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine] is a widely used phosphonate herbicide for different agricultural purposes. Due to its widespread use, suspected toxicity, and ubiquitous bioaccumulation, it is one of the most harmful contaminants found in drinking water. This demands efficient sensing and removal of glyphosate from contaminated water. Here, we report the decoration of novel and highly porous biochar with nanozero-valent iron (nZVI) nanoparticles to develop an efficient electrochemical sensor for the trace detection of glyphosate. The as-synthesized composite was thoroughly characterized by various state-of-the-art instrumental techniques. The electron micrographs of the composite materials revealed the cavity-like structure and the abundant loading of nZVI nanoparticles. FTIR and XPS analyses confirmed the presence of oxygen-rich functionalities and Fe(0) in the composite nanostructure. Electrochemical analysis through CV, LSV, and DPV techniques suggested efficient sensing activity with a limit of detection as low as 0.13 ppm. Furthermore, the chronopotentiometric response suggested excellent and superior stability for long-term applications. To gain more insight into the interaction between glyphosate and the composite material, DFT calculations were carried out. The Frontier Molecular Orbital study (FMO), Molecular Electrostatic Potentials (MEPs), and Density of States (DOS) suggest an increase in the electron density, an increase in the DOS, and a decrease in the HOMO-LUMO band gap by combining nZVI nanoparticles and biochar. The results suggest more facile electron transfer from the composite for trace detection of glyphosate. As a proof of concept, we have demonstrated that real-time analysis of milk, apple juice, and the as-synthesized composite shows promising results for glyphosate detection with an excellent recovery rate.

Abstract
Glyphosate (GLY) is the most widely used non-selective broad-spectrum herbicide worldwide under well-reported side effects on the environment and human health. That's why it's necessary to control its presence in the environment. This work describes the development of an affordable, simple, and accurate electrochemical biosensor using a pencil graphite electrode as support, a horseradish peroxidase enzyme immobilized on a polysulfone membrane doped with multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The developed electrochemical sensor was used in the determination of GLY in river and drinking water samples. Cyclic voltammetry and amperometry were used as electrochemical detection techniques for the characterization and analytical application of the developed biosensor. The working mechanism of the biosensor is based on the inhibition of the peroxidase enzyme by GLY. Under optimal experimental conditions, the biosensor showed a linear response in the concentration range of 0.1 to 10 mg L-1. The limits of detection and quantification are 0.025 ± 0.002 and 0.084 ± 0.007 mg L-1, respectively, which covers the maximum residual limit established by the EPA for drinking water (0.7 mg L-1). The proposed biosensor demonstrated high reproducibility, excellent analytical performance, repeatability, and accuracy. The sensor proved to be selective against other pesticides, organic acids, and inorganic salts. Application on real samples showed recovery rates ranging between 98.18 ± 0.11 % and 97.32 ± 0.23 %. The analytical features of the proposed biosensor make it an effective and useful tool for the detection of GLY for environmental analysis.

Abstract
The stable and highly catalytic Fe metal-organic framework (FeMOF) nanosol was prepared and characterized by electron microscopy, and energy and molecular spectral analysis. It was found that FeMOF strongly catalyzed the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by H2O2 to produce TMBox, which had a fluorescence (FL) peak at 410 nm. When silver nanoparticles were added, it exhibited strong resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) activity and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect. This new FeMOF nanocatalytic trimode indicator reaction was combined with the glyphosate aptamer reaction to establish a new SERS/RRS/FL trimode biosensor for glyphosate. The sensor can be used for the analysis of environmental wastewater, and a new method for detecting glyphosate content in wastewater is proposed. The linear range of the sensor is 0.1-14 nmol/L, the detection limit is 0.05 nmol/L, the recovery is 92.1-97.5%, and the relative standard deviation is 3.6-8.7%.

Abstract
An enzyme-linked fluorescent immunoassay (ELFIA) method has been developed for the quantitative analytical determination of the herbicide active ingredient glyphosate in environmental matrices (surface water, soil, and plant tissues). Glyphosate, as a ubiquitous agricultural pollutant, is a xenobiotic substance with exposure in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems due its extremely high worldwide application rate. The immunoassay developed in Project Aquafluosense is part of a fluorescence-based instrumentation setup for the in situ determination of several characteristic water quality parameters. The 96-well microplate-based competitive immunoassay method applies fluorescence signal detection in the concentration range of 0–100 ng/mL glyphosate. Application of the fluorescent signal provides a limit of detection of 0.09 ng/mL, which is 2.5-fold lower than that obtained with a visual absorbance signal. Beside the improved limit of detection, determination by fluorescence provided a wider and steeper dynamic range for glyphosate detection. No matrix effect appeared for the undiluted surface water samples, while plant tissues and soil samples required dilution rates of 1:10 and 1:100, respectively. No cross-reaction was determined with the main metabolite of glyphosate, N-aminomethylphosphonic acid, and related compounds.

Abstract
Glyphosate is a globally applied herbicide yet it has been relatively undetectable in-field samples outside of gold-standard techniques. Its presumed nontoxicity toward humans has been contested by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, while it has been detected in farmers' urine, surface waters and crop residues. Rapid, on-site detection of glyphosate is hindered by lack of field-deployable and easy-to-use sensors that circumvent sample transportation to limited laboratories that possess the equipment needed for detection. Herein, the flavoenzyme, glycine oxidase, immobilized on platinum-decorated laser-induced graphene (LIG) is used for selective detection of glyphosate as it is a substrate for GlyOx. The LIG platform provides a scaffold for enzyme attachment while maintaining the electronic and surface properties of graphene. The sensor exhibits a linear range of 10-260 µ m, detection limit of 3.03 µ m, and sensitivity of 0.991 nA µ m -1. The sensor shows minimal interference from the commonly used herbicides and insecticides: atrazine, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, dicamba, parathion-methyl, paraoxon-methyl, malathion, chlorpyrifos, thiamethoxam, clothianidin, and imidacloprid. Sensor function is further tested in complex river water and crop residue fluids, which validate this platform as a scalable, direct-write, and selective method of glyphosate detection for herbicide mapping and food analysis.

Abstract
An inorganic-framework molecularly imprinted NiAl layered double hydroxide (MI-NiAl-LDH) with specific template molecule (glyphosate pesticide, Glyp) recognition ability was prepared on Ni nanorod arrays (Ni NRAs) through electrodeposition followed by a low-temperature O2 plasma treatment. The freestanding Ni/MI-NiAl-LDH NRA electrode had highly enhanced sensitivity and selectivity. The electrocatalytic oxidation of Glyp was proposed to occur at Ni3+ centers in MI-NiAl-LDH, and the current response depended linearly on the Glyp concentration from 10.0 nmol/L to 1.0 μmol/L (R2 = 0.9906), with the limit of detection (LOD) being 3.1 nmol/L (S/N = 3). An exceptional discriminating capability with tolerance for other similar organophosphorus compounds was achieved. Molecular imprinting (N and P residues) affected the electronic structure of NiAl-LDH, triggering the formation of highly active NiOOH sites at relatively lower anodic potentials and substantially enhancing the electrocatalytic oxidation ability of the NiAl-LDH interface toward the C-N bonds in Glyp. In combination with the surface enrichment effect of MI-NiAl-LDH toward template molecules, the electrochemical oxidation signal intensity of Glyp increased significantly, with a greater peak separation from interfering molecules. These results challenge the common belief that the excellent performance of inorganic-framework molecularly imprinted interfaces arises from their specific adsorption of template molecules, providing new insight into the development of high-performance organic-pollutant-sensing electrodes.

Abstract
Organophosphorus pesticides are widely used in industrial agriculture and have been associated with water pollution and negative impacts on local ecosystems and communities. There is a need for testing technologies to detect the presence of pesticide residues in water sources, especially in developing countries where access to standard laboratory methods is cost prohibitive. Herein, we outline the development of a facile electrochemical sensor for amperometric determination of organophosphorus pesticides in environmental water samples. A three-electrode system was fabricated via UV laser-inscribing on a polyimide film. The working electrode was functionalized with copper nanoparticles with affinity toward organophosphate compounds. The sensor showed a limit of detection (LOD) of 3.42 ± 1.69 µM for glyphosate, 7.28 ± 1.20 µM for glufosinate, and 17.78 ± 7.68 µM for aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA). Sensitivity was highest for glyphosate (145.52 ± 36.73 nA⋅µM-1⋅cm-2) followed by glufosinate (56.98 ± 10.87 nA⋅µM-1⋅cm-2), and AMPA (30.92 ± 8.51 nA⋅µM-1⋅cm-2). The response of the sensor is not significantly affected by the presence of several ions and organic molecules commonly present in natural water samples. The developed sensor shows promising potential for facilitating environmental monitoring of organophosphorus pesticide residues, which is a current need in several parts of the world.

Abstract
The control of pesticide residues in food is of increasing importance nowadays due to the over-use and misapplication of herbicides in agricultural production. However, the current colorimetric method for rapid detection of glyphosate still faces many challenges like the low sensitivity and stability. Herein, a simple and ultrasensitive liquid colorimetric chemosensor for glyphosate detection was successfully constructed. Glyphosate pesticide can interact with metallic oxidelike porous Co3O4 nanodisc, and inhibit its inherent peroxidase-mimicking activity, making the colour of the solution change from blue to light blue or even colourless. The colour variation of the colorimetric chemosensor enables us to easily distinguish in less than 20 min even by the naked eye whether glyphosate exceeds the allowable level. The limit of detection (LOD) of the chemosensor for glyphosate was calculated as low as 2.37 μg·L-1, and the chemosensor displays excellent selectivity against other competitive pesticides and metal ions. Further studies have also validated the applicability of the colorimetric chemosensor in actual samples like tomato, cucumber and cabbage, indicating that the proposed strategy may have promising application prospects for detecting glyphosate residues in agricultural products.

Abstract
Glyphosate (GLY) is the main ingredient in the weed killer Roundup and the most widely used pesticide in the world. Studies of the harmful effects of GLY on human health began to become more wide-ranging after 2015. GLY is listed by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a carcinogenic hazard to humans. Moreover, GLY has the property to complex with transition metals and are stable for long periods, being considered a high-risk element for different matrices, such as environmental (soil and water) and food (usually genetically modified crops). Since that, it was noticed an increment in the development of new analytical methods for its determination in different matrices like food, environmental and biological fluids. Noteworthy, the application of electrochemical techniques for downstream detection sparked interest due to the ability to minimize or eliminate the use of polluting chemicals, using simple and affordable equipment. This work aims to review the contribution of the electroanalytical methods for the determination of GLY in different food and environmental matrices. Parameters such as the electrochemical transduction techniques based on the electrical measurement signals, receptor materials for electrodes preparation, and the detection mechanisms are described in this review. The literature review shows that the electrochemical sensors are powerful detection system that can be improved by their design and by their portability to fulfil the needs of the GLY determination in laboratory benches, or even in situ analysis.

Abstract
Laser-induced graphene (LIG) has shown to be a scalable manufacturing route to create graphene electrodes that overcome the expense associated with conventional graphene electrode fabrication. Herein, we expand upon initial LIG reports by functionalizing the LIG with metallic nanoparticles for ion sensing, pesticide monitoring, and water splitting. The LIG electrodes were converted into ion-selective sensors by functionalization with poly(vinyl chloride)-based membranes containing K+ and H+ ionophores. These ion-selective sensors exhibited a rapid response time (10-15 s), near-Nernstian sensitivity (53.0 mV/dec for the K+ sensor and - 56.6 mV/pH for the pH sensor), and long storage stability for 40 days, and were capable of ion monitoring in artificial urine. The pesticide biosensors were created by functionalizing the LIG electrodes with the enzyme horseradish peroxidase and displayed a high sensitivity to atrazine (28.9 nA/μM) with negligible inference from other common herbicides (glyphosate, dicamba, and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid). Finally, the LIG electrodes also exhibited a small overpotential for hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction. The oxygen evolution reaction tests yielded overpotentials of 448 mV and 995 mV for 10 mA/cm2 and 100 mA/cm2, respectively. The hydrogen evolution reaction tests yielded 35 mV and 281 mV for the corresponding current densities. Such a versatile LIG platform paves the way for simple, efficient electrochemical sensing and energy harvesting applications.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) having low cost and low toxicity and synthesized via a green route were applied to establish a fluorescent nanoprobe for the measurement of glyphosate. The synthesis was realized via a one-pot hydrothermal procedure using Sophora japonica leaves as the carbon source. It was found that electron transfer occurred between Fe3+ and the as-prepared CDs. Therefore, Fe3+ exhibited a specific dynamic-quenching toward CDs. However, the electron transfer process was inhibited by glyphosate. The fluorescence of the quenched CDs/Fe3+ system was recovered by the addition of glyphosate. It resulted from the strong complexation between Fe3+ and the functional groups (like -PO3H2 and -COOH) in the glyphosate molecule. These functional groups captured Fe3+ from the CD/Fe3+ system to reduce the electron transfer. With such a design, the rapid detection of glyphosate could be realized by this turn-on fluorescent sensor based on the CD/Fe3+ system. Under optimal conditions, the CD/Fe3+ system showed a concentration-dependent fluorescent response toward glyphosate in the linear range from 0.1 to 16 ppm. The limit of detection was calculated to be as low as 8.75 ppb (3σ/S). In addition, the successful detection of glyphosate in real samples with satisfactory recoveries exhibited a practical application of the CD/Fe3+ nanoprobe in food safety and environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Pesticides are heavily used in agriculture to protect crops from diseases, insects, and weeds. However, only a fraction of the used pesticides reaches the target and the rest slips through the soil, causing the contamination of ground- and surface water resources. Given the emerging interest in the on-site detection of analytes that can replace traditional chromatographic techniques, alternative methods for pesticide measuring have recently encountered remarkable attention. This review gives a focused overview of the literature related to the electrochemical detection of selected pesticides. Here, we focus on the electrochemical detection of three important pesticides; glyphosate, lindane and bentazone using a variety of electrochemical detection techniques, electrode materials, electrolyte media, and sample matrix. The review summarizes the different electrochemical studies and provides an overview of the analytical performances reported such as; the limits of detection and linearity range. This article highlights the advancements in pesticide detection of the selected pesticides using electrochemical methods and point towards the challenges and needed efforts to achieve electrochemical detection suitable for on-site applications.

Abstract
Glyphosate is the most widespread herbicide and its global use is steadily increasing. Although glyphosate is considered to have low toxicity, its wide application has raised concerns about its effects on human health. The extensive use of glyphosate has risen a need of its continuous monitoring in drinking and surface waters to assure in accordance with the set standards. Within the present study, we have developed a novel assay for the on-site detection of glyphosate by combining flow-through technology with the high specificity of immunorecognition. The proposed biosensing system was based on the detection of fluorescence signal generated by the quantitative replacement of glyphosate in antigen-antibody complex with IgY-type anti-glyphosate antibodies on microbeads by synthetic 5-carboxytetramethylrhodamine (5-TAMRA) conjugated glyphosate. The working range of this assay was in low millimolar range and the time required for glyphosate detection around 0.5 h. The applicability of the immunoassay for glyphosate detection in surface water was tested and the biosensor results were validated with high-performance liquid chromatography.

Abstract
Glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine] is the most frequently used herbicide to date. Due to its indiscriminate use, it has become a globally occurring pollutant of surface waters. A biosensor for glyphosate is described here that consists of a carbon nano-onion/tyrosinase conjugate immobilized in a chitosan matrix on a screen-printed electrode. The analytical principle is based on the inhibition of the enzyme tyrosinase by glyphosate. L-DOPA is used as the enzyme substrate. The presence of the carbon nano-onions has a beneficial effect on the sensitivity of the assay. Glyphosate can be amperometrically quantified in the 0.015 to 10 μM concentration range and with a 6.5 nM (1.1 μg L-1) detection limit. The biosensor is stable more than 2 months at 4 °C. It was applied to the detection of glyphosate in water and soil samples taken from irrigation of a rice field after aerial application. Results were in good agreement with data obtained by a commercial ELISA. Graphical abstract A highly sensitive amperometric biosensor for glyphosate is reported, based on the covalent immobilization of a carbon nano-onion/tyrosinase conjugate on a chitosan matrix.

What are the Main Sensor Methods for Quantifying Pesticides in Agricultural Activities? A Review. Molecules 2019; 24:molecules24142659. [PMID: 31340442 PMCID: PMC6680408 DOI: 10.3390/molecules24142659] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2019] [Revised: 07/13/2019] [Accepted: 07/16/2019] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
In recent years, there has been an increase in pesticide use to improve crop production due to the growth of agricultural activities. Consequently, various pesticides have been present in the environment for an extended period of time. This review presents a general description of recent advances in the development of methods for the quantification of pesticides used in agricultural activities. Current advances focus on improving sensitivity and selectivity through the use of nanomaterials in both sensor assemblies and new biosensors. In this study, we summarize the electrochemical, optical, nano-colorimetric, piezoelectric, chemo-luminescent and fluorescent techniques related to the determination of agricultural pesticides. A brief description of each method and its applications, detection limit, purpose—which is to efficiently determine pesticides—cost and precision are considered. The main crops that are assessed in this study are bananas, although other fruits and vegetables contaminated with pesticides are also mentioned. While many studies have assessed biosensors for the determination of pesticides, the research in this area needs to be expanded to allow for a balance between agricultural activities and environmental protection.

Abstract
A spectrophotometric method for the determination of glyphosate based on the monitoring of a complex formation between bis 5-phenyldipyrrinate of nickel (II) and the herbicide was developed. The method showed a short response time (10 s), high selectivity (very low interference from other pesticides and salts), and high sensitivity (LOD 2.07 × 10−7 mol/L, LOQ 9.87 × 10−7 mol/L, and a Kd from 1.75 × 10−6 to 6.95 × 10−6 mol/L). The Job plot showed that complex formation occurs with a 1:1 stoichiometry. The method was successfully applied in potable, urban, groundwater, and residual-treated water samples, showing high precision (0.34–2.9%) and accuracy (87.20–119.04%). The structure of the complex was elucidated through theoretical studies demonstrating that the nickel in the bis 5-phenyldipyrrinate forms a distorted octahedral molecular geometry by expanding its coordination number through one bond with the nitrogen and another with the oxygen of the glyphosate’ carboxyl group, at distances between 1.89–2.08 Å.

Abstract
Pesticides, due to their intensive use and their peculiar chemical features, can persist in the environment and enter the trophic chain, thus representing an environmental risk for the ecosystems and human health. Although there are several robust and reliable standard analytical techniques for their monitoring, the high frequency of contamination caused by pesticides requires methods for massive monitoring campaigns that are capable of rapidly detecting these compounds in many samples of different origin. Immunosensors represent a potential tool for simple, rapid, and sensitive monitoring of pesticides. Antibodies coupled to electrochemical or optical transducers have resulted in effective detection devices. In this review, the new trends in immunosensor development and the application of immunosensors for the detection of pesticides of environmental concern-such as glyphosate, organophosphates, and neonicotinoids-are described.

Abstract
A cantilever nanobiosensor functionalized with vegetable source of peroxidase was developed as an innovative way for glyphosate herbicide detection over a wide concentration range (0.01 to 10 mg L-1) using atomic force microscopy (AFM) technique. The extract obtained from zucchini (Cucurbita pepo source of peroxidase), with high enzymatic activity and stability has been used as bio-recognition element to develop a nanobiosensor. The polarization-modulated reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy (PM-RAIRS) demonstrated the deposition of enzyme on cantilever surface using self-assembled monolayers (SAM) by the presence of the amide I and II bands. The detection mechanism of glyphosate was based on the changes in surface tension caused by the analyte adsorption, resulting in a conformational change in the enzyme structure. In this way, the results of nanobiosensor demonstrate the potential of the sensing device for detecting glyphosate with a detection limit of 0.028 mg L-1.

Abstract
This paper describes a simple, inexpensive, highly sensitive, selective, and efficient electrochemical method to determine glyphosate (GLY) in samples of milk, orange juice, and agricultural formulation. The oxidation reaction on the electrode surface was electrochemically characterised by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square wave voltammetry (SWV). The investigation of GLY at carbon paste electrode revealed a non-reversible oxidation peak at +0.95 V versus Ag/AgCl, which was used for electrochemical detection of GLY. The operating parameters (pH, frequency, step potential, and amplitude) were optimised in relation to the peak current intensity, and a calibration curve was set up in a concentration range of 4.40 × 10-8-2.80 × 10-6 mol L-1, with a detection limit of 2 × 10-9 mol L-1. After calibration curve was plotted, the developed procedure was applied to determine GLY in previously contaminated samples: milk and orange juice, and in a commercial formulation, obtaining recovery values between 98.31% and 103.75%. These results show that the proposed method can be used for GLY quantification in different samples with high sensitivity, specificity, stability, and reproducibility.

Abstract
Glyphosate (Gly) is one of the most problematic pesticides that repeatedly appears in drinking water. Continuous on-site detection of Gly in water supplies can provide an early warning in incidents of contamination, before the pesticide reaches the drinking water. Here, we report the first direct detection of Gly in tap water with electrochemical sensing. Gold working electrodes were used to detect the pesticide in spiked tap water without any supporting electrolyte, sample pretreatment or electrode modifications. Amperometric measurements were used to quantify Gly to a limit of detection of 2 μM, which is below the regulation limit of permitted contamination of drinking water in the United States. The quantification of Gly was linearly proportional with the measured signal. The selectivity of this method was evaluated by applying the same technique on a Gly Metabolite, AMPA, and on another pesticide, omethoate, with a chemical structure similar to Gly. The testing revealed no interfering electrochemical activity at the potential range used for Gly detection. The simple detection of Gly presented in this work may lead to direct on-site monitoring of Gly contamination at drinking water sources.

Abstract
Calixarene-functionalized luminescent nanoparticles were successfully fabricated for the FRET-based selective and sensitive detection of the organophosphorus pesticide glyphosate (GP). p-Tert-butylcalix[4]arene was grafted on the surface of [Ru(bpy)3 ]2+ incorporated SiNps to produce self-assembled nanosensors (RSC). FRET was switched on in the presence of GP by means of energy transfer due to binding with p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene grafted on the surface of the RSC. The FRET efficiency of the GP-RSC system was increased gradually with the addition of GP. The FRET efficiency was evaluated as 87.69 % and a high binding affinity was established by the binding constant value, 1.16×107 M-1 , using a Langmuir binding isotherm plot. The estimated limit of detection (LOD) was 7.91×10-7 M, which was lower than the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommendation. The probe also effectively responds to real sample analysis. The sensitivity and selectivity was realized due to the efficient FRET towards the fluorescence properties of the [Ru(bpy)3 ]2+ complex.

Abstract
A potentiometric biosensor based on agarose-guar gum (A-G) entrapped bio-nanoconjugate of urease with gold nanoparticles (AUNps), has been reported for the first time for glyphosate detection. The biosensor is based on inhibition of urease activity by glyphosate, which was measured by direct potentiometry using ammonium ion selective electrode covered with A-G-urease nanoconjugate membrane. TEM and FTIR analysis revealed nanoconjugate formation and its immobilization in A-G matrix respectively. The composite biopolymer employed for immobilization yields thin, transparent, flexible membrane having superior mechanical strength and stability. It retains the maximum activity (92%) of urease with negligible leaching. The conjugation of urease with AUNps allows improvement in response characteristics for potentiometric measurement. The biosensor shows a linear response in the glyphosate concentration range from 0.5ppm-50ppm, with limit of detection at 0.5ppm, which covers maximum residual limit set by WHO for drinking water. The inhibition of catalytic activity of urease nanoconjugate by gyphosate was confirmed by FTIR analysis. The response of fabricated biosensor is selective towards glyphosate as against various other pesticides. The biosensor exhibits good performance in terms of reproducibility and prolonged storage stability of 180days. Thus, the present biosensor provides an alternative method for simple, selective and cost effective detection of glyphosate based on urease inhibition.

Abstract
A new separation and pre-concentration method for spectrophotometric determination of glyphosate herbicide was developed. Glyphosate was converted into dithiocarbamic acid with CS2, followed by copper in the presence of ammonia to promote complex formation. This complex was collected in a CH2Cl2 organic drop and absorbance measured at 435nm. The analytical parameters, such as the amount of NH3, Cu(II) and CS2, type of extraction solutions, and the ratio of dispersive and organic liquids were optimized. The calibration curve was linear in the range 0.5-10mgl-1. The limits of detection and quantification were calculated from 3s to 10s criterions as 0.21mgl-1 and 0.70mgl-1, respectively. The developed method was applied to legume samples with the satisfactory recovery values of 98±4-102±3%.

Abstract
The synthesis of conductive gold and copper-gold microstructures with high developed surface based on the method of laser-induced metal deposition from solution was developed. The topology and crystallization phase of these structures were observed by means of scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, respectively. The electrochemical properties of the synthesized materials were investigated using cyclic voltamperometry and amperometry. According to the obtained results, it was found out that copper-gold microstructures demonstrate a linear dependence of Faraday current vs. concentration from 0.025 to 5µM for D-glucose and from 0.025 to 10µM for hydrogen peroxide. In turn, gold deposit exhibits a linear dependence of Faraday current vs. concentration from 0.025 to 50µM for D-glucose and from 0.025 to 1µM for hydrogen peroxide. Moreover, the synthesized materials reveal low detection limits (0.025µM) with respect to the aforementioned analytes, which is quite promising for their potential application in design and fabrication of new non-enzymatic biosensors.

Abstract
Pesticide determination has attracted great attention due to the fact that they exhibit high acute toxicity and can cause long-term damage to the environment and human lives even at trace levels. Although classical analytical methods (including gas chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography, capillary electrophoresis and mass spectrometry) have been effectively used for analysis of pesticides in contaminated samples, they present certain limitations such as time-consuming sample preparation, complexity, and the requirement of expensive instrumentation and highly skilled personnel. For these reasons, there is an expanding need for analytical methods able to provide simple, rapid, sensitive, selective, low cost and reliable detection of pesticides at trace levels. Over the past decades, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) biosensors have emerged as simple, rapid and ultra-sensitive tools for toxicity detection of pesticides in the environment and food. These biosensors have the potential to complement or replace the classical analytical methods by simplifying or eliminating sample preparation and making field-testing easier and faster with significant decrease in cost per analysis. With the recent engineering of more sensitive AChE enzymes, the development of more reliable immobilization matrices and the progress in the area of microelectronics, AChE biosensors could become competitive for multi-analyte screening and soon be used for the development of portable instrumentation for rapid toxicity testing of samples. The enzymes organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) and organophosphorus acid anhydrolase (OPAA) have also shown considerable potential in OP biosensor applications and they have been used for direct detection of OPs. This review presents the recent advances in the fabrication of enzyme biosensors for organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) and their possible applications for toxicity monitoring of organophosphorus pesticide residues in real samples. The focus will be on the different strategies for the biosensor construction, the analytical performance of the biosensors and the advantages and disadvantages of these biosensor methods. The recent works done to improve the analytical performance, sensitivity and selectivity of these biosensors will also be discussed.

Abstract
There is a need for simple, fast, efficient and sensitive methods of analysis for glyphosate and its degradate aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) in diverse matrices such as water, plant materials and soil to facilitate environmental research needed to address the continuing concerns related to increasing glyphosate use. A variety of water-based solutions have been used to extract the chemicals from different matrices. Many methods require extensive sample preparation, including derivatization and clean-up, prior to analysis by a variety of detection techniques. This review summarizes methods used during the past 15 years for analysis of glyphosate and AMPA in water, plant materials and soil. The simplest methods use aqueous extraction of glyphosate and AMPA from plant materials and soil, no derivatization, solid-phase extraction (SPE) columns for clean-up, guard columns for separation and confirmation of the analytes by mass spectrometry and quantitation using isotope-labeled internal standards. They have levels of detection (LODs) below the regulatory limits in North America. These methods are discussed in more detail in the review.

Abstract
A mini-review of the reported biosensor research occurring in South Africa evidences a strong emphasis on electrochemical sensor research, guided by the opportunities this transduction platform holds for low-cost and robust sensing of numerous targets. Many of the reported publications centre on fundamental research into the signal transduction method, using model biorecognition elements, in line with international trends. Other research in this field is spread across several areas including: the application of nanotechnology; the identification and validation of biomarkers; development and testing of biorecognition agents (antibodies and aptamers) and design of electro-catalysts, most notably metallophthalocyanine. Biosensor targets commonly featured were pesticides and metals. Areas of regional import to sub-Saharan Africa, such as HIV/AIDs and tuberculosis diagnosis, are also apparent in a review of the available literature. Irrespective of the targets, the challenge to the effective deployment of such sensors remains shaped by social and economic realities such that the requirements thereof are for low-cost and universally easy to operate devices for field settings. While it is difficult to disentangle the intertwined roles of national policy, grant funding availability and, certainly, of global trends in shaping areas of emphasis in research, most notable is the strong role that nanotechnology, and to a certain extent biotechnology, plays in research regarding biosensor construction. Stronger emphasis on collaboration between scientists in theoretical modelling, nanomaterials application and or relevant stakeholders in the specific field (e.g., food or health monitoring) and researchers in biosensor design may help evolve focused research efforts towards development and deployment of low-cost biosensors.

Abstract
Pulsed voltammetry has been used to detect and quantify glyphosate on buffered water in presence of ammonium nitrate and humic substances. Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide active ingredient in the world. It is a non-selective broad spectrum herbicide but some of its health and environmental effects are still being discussed. Nowadays, glyphosate pollution in water is being monitored but quantification techniques are slow and expensive. Glyphosate wastes are often detected in countryside water bodies where organic substances and fertilizers (commonly based on ammonium nitrate) may also be present. Glyphosate also forms complexes with humic acids so these compounds have also been taken into consideration. The objective of this research is to study the interference of these common pollutants in glyphosate measurements by pulsed voltammetry. The statistical treatment of the voltammetric data obtained lets us discriminate glyphosate from the other studied compounds and a mathematical model has been built to quantify glyphosate concentrations in a buffer despite the presence of humic substances and ammonium nitrate. In this model, the coefficient of determination (R(2)) is 0.977 and the RMSEP value is 2.96 × 10(-5) so the model is considered statistically valid.

Abstract
This paper reports a method for rapid, simple, direct, and reproducible determination of glyphosate and its major metabolite aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA). The platform described herein uses polyester-toner microchips incorporating capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection and electrophoresis separation of the analytes. The polyester-toner microchip presented 150 μm-wide and 12 μm-deep microchannels, with injection and separation lengths of 10 and 40 mm long, respectively. The best results were obtained with 320 kHz frequency, 4.5 Vpp excitation voltage, 80 mmol/L CHES/Tris buffer at pH 8.8, injection in -1.0 kV for 7 s, and separation in -1.5 kV. RSD values related to the peak areas for glyphosate and AMPA were 1.5 and 3.3% and 10.1 and 8.6% for intra- and interchip assays, respectively. The detection limits were 45.1 and 70.5 μmol/L, respectively, without any attempt of preconcentration of the analytes. Finally, the method was applied to river water samples in which glyphosate and AMPA (1.0 mmol/L each) were added. The recovery results were 87.4 and 83.7% for glyphosate and AMPA, respectively. The recovery percentages and LOD values obtained here were similar to others reported in the literature.

Abstract
We report a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor for online detection of glyphosate. The surface of the sensing element is decorated with an oligopeptide, TPFDLRPSSDTR, which is identified by using phage display library. This oligopeptide shows high binding specificity for glyphosate (KD = 8.6 μM), probably because of the presence of R and D in the oligopeptide. To detect glyphosate in buffer solution, an SPR gold sensor chip is modified by using the oligopeptide with a surface density of 0.6 1/nm(2). The sensitivity of this oligopeptide-functionalized SPR biosensor is 1.02 RU/μM whereas the limit of detection (LOD) is 0.58 μM. This oligopeptide functionalized SPR biosensor also shows good specificity against other analytes such as glycine, thiacloprid, and imidacloprid.

Glyphosate detection by means of a voltammetric electronic tongue and discrimination of potential interferents. SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2012; 12:17553-68.

Abstract
A new electronic tongue to monitor the presence of glyphosate (a non-selective systemic herbicide) has been developed. It is based on pulse voltammetry and consists in an array of three working electrodes (Pt, Co and Cu) encapsulated on a methacrylate cylinder. The electrochemical response of the sensing array was characteristic of the presence of glyphosate in buffered water (phosphate buffer 0.1 mol · dm-3, pH 6.7). Rotating disc electrode (RDE) studies were carried out with Pt, Co and Cu electrodes in water at room temperature and at pH 6.7 using 0.1 mol · dm-3 of phosphate as a buffer. In the presence of glyphosate, the corrosion current of the Cu and Co electrodes increased significantly, probably due to the formation of Cu2+ or Co2+ complexes. The pulse array waveform for the voltammetric tongue was designed by taking into account some of the redox processes observed in the electrochemical studies. The PCA statistical analysis required four dimensions to explain 95% of variance. Moreover, a two-dimensional representation of the two principal components differentiated the water mixtures containing glyphosate. Furthermore, the PLS statistical analyses allowed the creation of a model to correlate the electrochemical response of the electrodes with glyphosate concentrations, even in the presence of potential interferents such as humic acids and Ca2+. The system offers a PLS prediction model for glyphosate detection with values of 098, -2.3 × 10-5 and 0.94 for the slope, the intercept and the regression coefficient, respectively, which is in agreement with the good fit between the predicted and measured concentrations. The results suggest the feasibility of this system to help develop electronic tongues for glyphosate detection.

Abstract
A biosensor based on atemoya peroxidase immobilised on modified nanoclay was developed for the determination of glyphosate by the enzyme inhibition method. The inhibitor effect of the biocide results in a decrease in the current response of the hydroquinone that was used as a phenolic substrate to obtain the base signal. The biosensor was constructed using graphite powder, multiwalled carbon nanotubes, peroxidase immobilised on nanoclay and mineral oil. Square-wave voltammetry was utilised for the optimisation and application of the biosensor, and several parameters were investigated to determine the optimum experimental conditions. The best performance was obtained using a 0.1 mol L(-1) phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.0), 1.9×10(-4) mol L(-1) hydrogen peroxide, a frequency of 30 Hz, a pulse amplitude of 50 mV and a scan increment of 4 mV. The glyphosate concentration response was linear between 0.10 and 4.55 mg L(-1) with a detection limit of 30 μg L(-1). The average recovery of glyphosate from spiked water samples ranged from 94.9 to 108.9%. The biosensor remained stable for a period of eight weeks.
