Abstract
Wastewater is a complex, but an ideal, matrix for disease monitoring and surveillance as it represents the entire load of enteric pathogens from a local catchment area. It captures both clinical and community disease burdens. Global interest in wastewater surveillance has been growing rapidly for infectious diseases monitoring and for providing an early warning of potential outbreaks. Although molecular detection methods show high sensitivity and specificity in pathogen monitoring from wastewater, they are strongly limited by challenges, including expensive laboratory settings and prolonged sample processing and analysis. Alternatively, biosensors exhibit a wide range of practical utility in real-time monitoring of biological and chemical markers. However, field deployment of biosensors is primarily challenged by prolonged sample processing and pathogen concentration steps due to complex wastewater matrices. This review summarizes the role of wastewater surveillance and provides an overview of infectious viral and bacterial pathogens with cutting-edge technologies for their detection. It emphasizes the practical utility of biosensors in pathogen monitoring and the major bottlenecks for wastewater surveillance of pathogens, and overcoming approaches to field deployment of biosensors for real-time pathogen detection. Furthermore, the promising potential of novel machine learning algorithms to resolve uncertainties in wastewater data is discussed.

Abstract
A method for grafting dopamine onto TEMPO-oxidized chitin nanofibers (TOChN) was developed, achieving a surface grafting rate of 54 % through the EDC/NHS reaction. This process resulted in the formation of dopamine-grafted TOChN (TOChN-DA). Subsequently, an adherent, highly sensitive, fatigue-resistant conductive PAM/TOChN-PDA/Fe3+ (PTPF) hydrogel was successfully synthesized based on the composition of polyacrylamide (PAM) and TOChN-DA, which exhibited good cell compatibility, a tensile strength of 89.42 kPa, and a high adhesion strength of 62.56 kPa with 1.2 wt% TOChN-DA. Notably, the PTPF hydrogel showed stable adherence to various surfaces, such as rubber, copper, and human skin. Specifically, the addition of FeCl3 contributed to a multifunctional design in the PTPF interpenetrating network (IPN) hydrogel, endowing it with conductivity, cohesion, and antioxidant properties, which facilitated sensitive motion and acoustics monitoring. Moreover, the PTPF hydrogel demonstrated exceptional fatigue resistance and sensing stability, maintaining performance at 50 % strain over 1000 cycles. These attributes render the PTPF hydrogel a promising candidate for advanced biosensors in medical and athletic applications.

Abstract
Microtoxicology is concerned with the toxic effects of small amounts of substances. This review paper discusses the application of small amounts of noxious substances for toxicological investigation in small volumes. The vigorous development of miniaturized methods in microfluidics over the last two decades involves chip-based devices, micro droplet-based procedures, and the use of micro-segmented flow for microtoxicological studies. The studies have shown that the microfluidic approach is particularly valuable for highly parallelized and combinatorial dose-response screenings. Accurate dosing and mixing of effector substances in large numbers of microcompartments supplies detailed data of dose-response functions by highly concentration-resolved assays and allows evaluation of stochastic responses in case of small separated cell ensembles and single cell experiments. The investigations demonstrate that very different biological targets can be studied using miniaturized approaches, among them bacteria, eukaryotic microorganisms, cell cultures from tissues of multicellular organisms, stem cells, and early embryonic states. Cultivation and effector exposure tests can be performed in small volumes over weeks and months, confirming that the microfluicial strategy is also applicable for slow-growing organisms. Here, the state of the art of miniaturized toxicology, particularly for studying antibiotic susceptibility, drug toxicity testing in the miniaturized system like organ-on-chip, environmental toxicology, and the characterization of combinatorial effects by two and multi-dimensional screenings, is discussed. Additionally, this review points out the practical limitations of the microtoxicology platform and discusses perspectives on future opportunities and challenges.

Abstract
Herein, a synthetic polymer proteomimetic is described that reconstitutes the key structural elements and function of mussel adhesive protein. The proteomimetic was prepared via graft-through ring-opening metathesis polymerization of a norbornenyl-peptide monomer. The peptide was derived from the natural underwater glue produced by marine mussels that is composed of a highly repetitive 10 amino acid tandem repeat sequence. The hypothesis was that recapitulation of the repeating unit in this manner would provide a facile route to a nature-inspired adhesive. To this end, the material, in which the arrangement of peptide units was as side chains on a brush polymer rather than in a linear fashion as in the natural protein, was examined and compared to the native protein. Mechanical measurements of adhesion forces between solid surfaces revealed improved adhesion properties over the natural protein, making this strategy attractive for diverse applications. One such application is demonstrated, using the polymers as a surface adhesive for the immobilization of live cells.

Abstract
Protein adsorption on polyelectrolyte (PE) surfaces has aroused intensive attraction, but there are still few investigations on tuning the protein adsorption at a solid surface by controllable layer structures and surface properties of PE adlayers. Furthermore, there is a lack of understanding regarding the correlation between molecular conformation and anticorrosion performance of composite materials. With this in mind, we synthesized a series of PEs and constructed 3,4-dihydroxy-l-phenylalanine (l-DOPA) adlayers on the PE surfaces, monitoring the whole adsorption process in situ. A highly charged cationic PE surface exhibits a low adhesion of DOPA molecules, leading to a loose structure, rough surface morphology, and strong solvation effects and, accordingly, this kind of multilayer provides a poor anticorrosion capacity. In comparison, amphiphilic and highly charged cationic PE surfaces are in favor of DOPA adsorption and the formation of compact and smooth multilayers due to cation-π and hydrophobic interactions between DOPA and PEs. Interestingly, one of the multilayers exhibits a remarkable enhancement of inhibition efficiency of about 460-fold compared with that of the bare substrate, which is much higher than that of other anticorrosion coatings reported previously. Our findings reveal the interaction mechanism between DOPA and PE surfaces to achieve the controllable adsorption of biomolecules, providing a promising way to optimize the layer structures to improve the anticorrosion capacity.

Abstract
The modern environmental and food analysis requires sensitive, accurate, and rapid methods. The growing field of biosensors represents an answer to this demand. Unfortunately, most biosensor systems have been tested only on distilled water or buffered solutions, although applications to real samples are increasingly appearing in recent years. In this context, biosensors for potential food applications continue to show advances in areas such as genetic modification of enzymes and microorganisms, improvement of recognition element immobilization, and sensor interfaces. This chapter investigates the progress in the development of biosensors for the rapid detection of food toxicants for online applications. Recent progress in nanotechnology has produced affordable, mass-produced devices, and to integrate these into components and systems (including portable ones) for mass market applications for food toxicants monitoring. Sensing includes chemical and microbiological food toxicants, such as toxins, insecticides, pesticides, herbicides, microorganisms, bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms, phenolic compounds, allergens, genetically modified foods, hormones, dioxins, etc. Therefore, the state of the art of recent advances and future targets in the development of biosensors for food monitoring is summarized as follows: biosensors for food analysis will be highly sensitive, selective, rapidly responding, real time, massively parallel, with no or minimum sample preparation, and platform suited to portable and handheld nanosensors for the rapid detection of food toxicants for online uses even by nonskilled personnel.

Abstract
Many high-value added recombinant proteins, such as therapeutic glycoproteins, are produced using mammalian cell cultures. In order to optimize the productivity of these cultures it is important to monitor cellular metabolism, for example the utilization of nutrients and the accumulation of metabolic waste products. One metabolic waste product of interest is lactic acid (lactate), overaccumulation of which can decrease cellular growth and protein production. Current methods for the detection of lactate are limited in terms of cost, sensitivity, and robustness. Therefore, we developed a whole-cell Escherichia coli lactate biosensor based on the lldPRD operon and successfully used it to monitor lactate concentration in mammalian cell cultures. Using real samples and analytical validation we demonstrate that our biosensor can be used for absolute quantification of metabolites in complex samples with high accuracy, sensitivity, and robustness. Importantly, our whole-cell biosensor was able to detect lactate at concentrations more than two orders of magnitude lower than the industry standard method, making it useful for monitoring lactate concentrations in early phase culture. Given the importance of lactate in a variety of both industrial and clinical contexts we anticipate that our whole-cell biosensor can be used to address a range of interesting biological questions. It also serves as a blueprint for how to capitalize on the wealth of genetic operons for metabolite sensing available in nature for the development of other whole-cell biosensors. Biotechnol.

Abstract
It is useful for whole-cell biosensors to be based on colorimetric detection because the output signal can be easily visualized. However, colorimetric-based whole-cell biosensors suffer higher detection limits as compared to bioluminescence- or fluorescence-based biosensors. In this work, we attempt to reduce the detection limit for a colorimetric-based whole-cell biosensor by applying directed evolution techniques on a transcription regulator, DmpR, to alter the expression level of its cognate promoter, which was fused to mRFP1 to output red coloration in the presence of organophosphate pesticides containing a phenolic group. We selected the two best-performing mutants, DM01 and DM12, which were able to develop red coloration in the presence of parathion as low as 10 μM after just 6 h of induction at 30 °C. This suggests that engineering of the transcription regulator in the sensing domain is useful for improving various properties of whole-cell biosensors, such as reducing the detection limit for simple colorimetric detection of organophosphate pesticides.

Abstract
In whole-cell based biosensors, spectrophotometry is one of the most commonly used methods for detecting organophosphates due to its simplicity and reliability. The sensor performance is directly affected by the cell immobilization method because it determines the amount of cells, the mass transfer rate, and the stability. In this study, we demonstrated that our previously-reported microbe immobilization method, a microbe-attached single-walled carbon nanotube film, can be applied to whole-cell-based organophosphate sensors. This method has many advantages over other whole-cell organophosphate sensors, including high specific activity, quick cell immobilization, and excellent stability. A device with circular electrodes was fabricated for an enlarged cell-immobilization area. Escherichia coli expressing organophosphorus hydrolase in the periplasmic space and single-walled carbon nanotubes were attached to the device by our method. Paraoxon was hydrolyzed using this device, and detected by measuring the concentration of the enzymatic reaction product, p-nitrophenol. The specific activity of our device was calculated, and was shown to be over 2.5 times that reported previously for other whole-cell organophosphate sensors. Thus, this method for generation of whole-cell-based OP biosensors might be optimal, as it overcomes many of the caveats that prevent the widespread use of other such devices.
