Abstract
Microbial biofilms present one of the most widespread forms of life on Earth. The formation of microbial communities on various surfaces presents a major challenge in a variety of fields, including medicine, the food industry, shipping, etc. At the same time, this process can also be used for the benefit of humans-in bioremediation, wastewater treatment, and various biotechnological processes. The main direction of using electroactive microbial biofilms is their incorporation into the composition of biosensor and biofuel cells This review examines the fundamental knowledge acquired about the structure and formation of biofilms, the properties they have when used in bioelectrochemical devices, and the characteristics of the formation of these structures on different surfaces. Special attention is given to the potential of applying the latest advances in genetic engineering in order to improve the performance of microbial biofilm-based devices and to regulate the processes that take place within them. Finally, we highlight possible ways of dealing with the drawbacks of using biofilms in the creation of highly efficient biosensors and biofuel cells.

A "2-in-1" Bioanalytical System Based on Nanocomposite Conductive Polymers for Early Detection of Surface Water Pollution. Polymers (Basel) 2024; 16:1431.

Abstract
This work proposes an approach to the formation of receptor elements for the rapid diagnosis of the state of surface waters according to two indicators: the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) index and toxicity. Associations among microorganisms based on the bacteria P. yeei and yeast S. cerevisiae, as well as associations of the yeasts O. polymorpha and B. adeninivorans, were formed to evaluate these indicators, respectively. The use of nanocomposite electrically conductive materials based on carbon nanotubes, biocompatible natural polymers-chitosan and bovine serum albumin cross-linked with ferrocenecarboxaldehyde, neutral red, safranin, and phenosafranin-has made it possible to expand the analytical capabilities of receptor systems. Redox polymers were studied by IR spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy, the contents of electroactive components were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy, and electrochemical properties were studied by electrochemical impedance and cyclic voltammetry methods. Based on the proposed kinetic approach to modeling individual stages of bioelectrochemical processes, the chitosan-neutral red/CNT composite was chosen to immobilize the yeast association between O. polymorpha (ks = 370 ± 20 L/g × s) and B. adeninivorans (320 ± 30 L/g × s), and a bovine serum albumin (BSA)-neutral composite was chosen to immobilize the association between the yeast S. cerevisiae (ks = 130 ± 10 L/g × s) and the bacteria P. yeei red/CNT (170 ± 30 L/g × s). After optimizing the composition of the receptor systems, it was shown that the use of nanocomposite materials together with associations among microorganisms makes it possible to determine BOD with high sensitivity (with a lower limit of 0.6 mg/dm3) and detect the presence of a wide range of toxicants of both organic and inorganic origin. Both receptor elements were tested on water samples, showing a high correlation between the results of biosensor analysis of BOD and toxicity and the results of standard analytical methods. The results obtained show broad prospects for creating sensitive and portable bioelectrochemical sensors for the early warning of environmentally hazardous situations based on associations among microorganisms and nanocomposite materials.

Abstract
Electropolymerized thionine was used as a redox-active polymer to create a two-mediated microbial biosensor for determining biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). The electrochemical characteristics of the conducting system were studied by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. It has been shown that the most promising in terms of the rate of interaction with the yeast B. adeninivorans is the system based on poly(thionine), single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), and neutral red (kint = 0.071 dm3/(g·s)). The biosensor based on this system is characterized by high sensitivity (the lower limit of determined BOD concentrations is 0.4 mgO2/dm3). Sample analysis by means of the developed analytical system showed that the results of the standard dilution method and those using the biosensor differed insignificantly. Thus, for the first time, the fundamental possibility of effectively using nanocomposite materials based on SWCNT and the redox-active polymer poly(thionine) as one of the components of two-mediator systems for electron transfer from yeast microorganisms to the electrode has been shown. It opens up prospects for creating stable and highly sensitive electrochemical systems based on eukaryotes.

Abstract
Water monitoring and remediation require robust, low-cost, and reliable test systems that can couple with prompt treatment interventions. Organic matter (BOD, COD), toxicants, heavy metals, and other pollutants in water need to be regularly inspected. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have already gained popularity as BOD biomonitoring systems as these don't need an external transducer or power source. Moreover, these systems are cost-effective, compact, biodegradable, reusable, portable, and applicable for on-site measurements. MFCs truly stands out as online BOD measurement devices as they provide wide detection range (0-25 g/L), low response time (2-4 min) and longer stability in continuous operations (2-5 years) in a cost-effective approach. This review examines the benefits, kinds, performance metrics, and signal optimization of the current state-of-the-art of the BOD measurement, with detailed focus on MFC-based BOD biomonitoring systems. This review covers the important technological breakthroughs in practical applications with associated bottlenecks to develop reliable sensing systems.

Abstract
The possibility of using a composite material based on bovine serum albumin (BSA) covalently bonded with ferrocenecarboxaldehyde and containing carbon nanotubes (CNT) for the immobilization of Blastobotrys adeninivorans BKM Y-2677 (B. adeninivorans) yeast is discussed. The optimal ratio of ferrocenecarboxaldehyde to BSA for the redox-active polymer synthesis is 1:2, since the heterogeneous electron transfer constant is 0.45 ± 0.01 s-1. When carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are added to this polymer, the heterogeneous electron transfer constant increases: at a CNT specific density of 2.5 µg/mm2, it reaches a maximum value of 0.55 ± 0.01 s-1. The addition of CNTs into the conducting system leads to increasing of the rate constant of interaction redox species with B. adeninivorans yeast by an order: the rate constant of interaction between B. adeninivorans yeast and electroactive particles in a redox-active polymer is 0.056 ± 0.005 dm3/g × s and in a composite material based on CNTs is 0.51 ± 0.02 dm3/g × s. The yeast specific density at the electrode of 0.1 mg/mm2 and electrolyte pH of 6.2 was chosen as the working value for the receptor system operation. Immobilized in a composite material, yeast oxidizes a wider range of substrates compared with a similar receptor element based on the ferrocene mediator. The biosensors formed on the basis of hybrid polymers have a high sensitivity with a lower limit of determined concentrations of 1.5 mg/dm3 with an assay time of 5 min and a high correlation (R = 0.9945) with the results of the standard method for determining biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) in nine real surface water samples of the Tula region.

Abstract
AbstractAnalytical techniques to measure organic matter in water, such as Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5), and Total Organic Carbon (TOC) are widely used. Modifications have been proposed to make them faster, more sensitive, and more environmentally friendly. The purpose of producing a review over some time is to show the changes made on the standardized methods of each of these techniques, and to highlight the relationship between them in the process of ascertaining organic matter in water. Modifications to techniques COD and BOD entail several factors that need to be considered, namely: time, miniaturization, sensitivity, use of environmentally friendly reagents. Changes to TOC are focused on detection systems. Despite the advantages obtained by the modified techniques, traditional methods continue to be widely used, in most cases due to the lack of standardization of the new methods.

Abstract
One of the main indices of the quality of water is the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). A little over 40 years have passed since the practical application of the first microbial sensor for the determination of BOD, presented by the Japanese professor Isao Karube. This time span has brought new knowledge to and practical developments in the use of a wide range of microbial cells based on BOD biosensors. At present, this field of biotechnology is becoming an independent discipline. The traditional BOD analysis (BOD5) has not changed over many years; it takes no less than 5 days to carry out. Microbial biosensors can be used as an alternative technique for assessing the BOD attract attention because they can reduce hundredfold the time required to measure it. The review examines the experience of the creation and practical application of BOD biosensors accumulated by the international community. Special attention is paid to the use of multiple cell immobilization methods, signal registration techniques, mediators and cell consortia contained in the bioreceptor. We consider the use of nanomaterials in the modification of analytical devices developed for BOD evaluation and discuss the prospects of developing new practically important biosensor models.

Abstract
The release of chemicals and microorganisms from various sources, such as industry, agriculture, animal farming, wastewater treatment plants, and flooding, into water systems have caused water pollution in several parts of our world, endangering aquatic ecosystems and individual health. World Health Organization (WHO) has introduced strict standards for the maximum concentration limits for nutrients and chemicals in drinking water, surface water, and groundwater. It is crucial to have rapid, sensitive, and reliable analytical detection systems to monitor the pollution level regularly and meet the standard limit. Electrochemical biosensors are advantageous analytical devices or tools that convert a bio-signal by biorecognition elements into a significant electrical response. Thanks to the micro/nano fabrication techniques, electrochemical biosensors for sensitive, continuous, and real-time detection have attracted increasing attention among researchers and users worldwide. These devices take advantage of easy operation, portability, and rapid response. They can also be miniaturized, have a long-life span and a quick response time, and possess high sensitivity and selectivity and can be considered as portable biosensing assays. They are of special importance due to their great advantages such as affordability, simplicity, portability, and ability to detect at on-site. This review paper is concerned with the basic concepts of electrochemical biosensors and their applications in various water quality monitoring, such as inorganic chemicals, nutrients, microorganisms' pollution, and organic pollutants, especially for developing real-time/online detection systems. The basic concepts of electrochemical biosensors, different surface modification techniques, bio-recognition elements (BRE), detection methods, and specific real-time water quality monitoring applications are reviewed thoroughly in this article.

Abstract
This work proposes a method of forming a microorganism-mediator(s) receptor system, in which the rates of separate stages of mediator bioelectrocatalysis are used as the basis for the development of biosensors for the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) rapid assay. In the presence of a ferrocene mediator, the yeast Blastobotrys adeninivorans was shown to enable oxidation of a larger range of substrates as compared with other investigated microorganisms-bacteria Escherichia coli and yeast Ogataea polymorpha. The rate constants of the interaction of the yeast B. adeninivorans with nine compounds, electron transfer mediators, were determined; the best mediator for these microorganisms was found to be neutral red (k int = 0.681 ± 0.009 dm3/g s). Neutral red possesses a high rate of interaction with the ferrocene mediator (14,200 ± 100 dm3/mol s) shown earlier to be the most promising acceptor of electrons at a carbon paste electrode (0.4 ± 0.1 cm/s). These features enabled the formation of a two-mediator ferrocene-neutral red system to be used in a biosensor. A two-mediator-based biosensor had a higher sensitivity (the lower limit of detected BOD concentrations, 0.16 mg/dm3) than that of a one-mediator system based on neutral red and ferrocene. Analysis of ten samples from surface water reservoirs showed the combination of ferrocene, neutral red and the yeast B. adeninivorans to enable the data that highly correlated (R = 0.9693) with those of the standard method.

Abstract
This work investigated the use of redox-active polymers based on bovine serum albumin and chitosan, covalently bound to mediators neutral red and ferrocene and containing carbon nanotubes, for immobilization of Paracoccus yeei VKM B-3302 bacteria. The structures of produced polymers were studied by IR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy found the electrochemical characteristics of the investigated systems: the heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant, the constant of the rate of interaction with P. yeei bacteria and the impedance. The systems containing carbon nanotubes and ferrocene-based redox-active polymer proved to be the most promising. Biosensors formed using the hybrid polymers had a high sensitivity with the lower boundary of 0.1 mg/dm3 of the detected BOD5 concentrations and a high correlation (R = 0.9916) with the standard BOD assay of surface water samples.

Abstract
Existing at the interface of biology and electronics, living cells have been in use as biorecognition elements (bioreceptors) in biosensors since the early 1970s. They are an interesting choice of bioreceptors as they allow flexibility in determining the sensing strategy, are cheaper than purified enzymes and antibodies and make the fabrication relatively simple and cost-effective. And with advances in the field of synthetic biology, microfluidics and lithography, many exciting developments have been made in the design of cell-based biosensors in the last about five years. 3D cell culture systems integrated with electrodes are now providing new insights into disease pathogenesis and physiology, while cardiomyocyte-integrated microelectrode array (MEA) technology is set to be standardized for the assessment of drug-induced cardiac toxicity. From cell microarrays for high-throughput applications to plasmonic devices for anti-microbial susceptibility testing and advent of microbial fuel cell biosensors, cell-based biosensors have evolved from being mere tools for detection of specific analytes to multi-parametric devices for real time monitoring and assessment. However, despite these advancements, challenges such as regeneration and storage life, heterogeneity in cell populations, high interference and high costs due to accessory instrumentation need to be addressed before the full potential of cell-based biosensors can be realized at a larger scale. This review summarizes results of the studies that have been conducted in the last five years toward the fabrication of cell-based biosensors for different applications with a comprehensive discussion on the challenges, future trends, and potential inputs needed for improving them.

Abstract
Chronic alcohol consumption is a significant financial and physical burden in the United States each year. Alcohol consumption monitors focus on establishing a state of intoxication, not assessing a user's health risks as a function of consumed alcohol. This work demonstrates a biosensor for a chronic alcohol consumption monitor through the electrochemical detection of ethyl glucuronide (EtG) in human sweat using square-wave voltammetry (SWV). A novel affinity assay was demonstrated in which monoclonal antibodies were chemically coabsorbed onto a gold electrode surface in parallel with thiolated charge transfer molecule. Concentration-dependent EtG binding was detected by measuring a reduction in the charge transfer of the sensor, manifesting as a current response during SWV measurement. A companion compact electronic reader was constructed, demonstrating comparable sensitivity to a conventional lab instrument. Both tools demonstrated a limit of detection of 0.1 µg/L and a linear dynamic range of 0.1-100 µg/L corresponding to the physiologically relevant range of EtG expression in human sweat. This device can address the need for a chronic alcohol consumption monitor toward establishing a user's long-term consumption habits to assess the risk of developing specific diseases and conditions associated with regular alcohol consumption, through integration with existing technologies.
