Abstract
The fascinating electrochemical properties of the redox-active compound ferrocene have inspired researchers across the globe to develop ferrocene-based electrocatalysts for a wide variety of applications. Advantages including excellent chemical and thermal stability, solubility in organic solvents, a pair of stable redox states, rapid electron transfer, and nontoxic nature improve its utility in various electrochemical applications. The use of ferrocene-based electrocatalysts enables control over the intrinsic properties and electroactive sites at the surface of the electrode to achieve specific electrochemical activities. Ferrocene and its derivatives can function as a potential redox medium that promotes electron transfer rates, thereby enhancing the reaction kinetics and electrochemical responses of the device. The outstanding electrocatalytic activity of ferrocene-based compounds at lower operating potentials enhances the specificity and sensitivity of reactions and also amplifies the response signals. Owing to their versatile redox chemistry and catalytic activities, ferrocene-based electrocatalysts are widely employed in various energy-related systems, molecular machines, and agricultural, biological, medicinal, and sensing applications. This review highlights the importance of ferrocene-based electrocatalysts, with emphasis on their properties, synthesis strategies for obtaining different ferrocene-based compounds, and their electrochemical applications.

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.

Sergeevna KA, Vladimirovna PD, Valerievich MA, Alekseevich AV. Acceptor properties of "carbon nanotubes-redox-active polymer based on bovine serum albumin modified with ferrocenecarboxaldehyde" composite for creating a BOD biosensor with Blastobotrys adeninivorans BKM Y-2677 yeast. 3 Biotech 2023; 13:112. [PMID: 36883049 PMCID: PMC9985533 DOI: 10.1007/s13205-023-03500-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2022] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 03/06/2023] Open
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
Biosensors are low-cost and low-maintenance alternatives to conventional analytical techniques for biomedical, industrial and environmental applications. Biosensors based on whole microorganisms can be genetically engineered to attain high sensitivity and specificity for the detection of selected analytes. While bacteria-based biosensors have been extensively reported, there is a recent interest in yeast-based biosensors, combining the microbial with the eukaryotic advantages, including possession of specific receptors, stability and high robustness. Here, we describe recently reported yeast-based biosensors highlighting their biological and technical features together with their status of development, that is, laboratory or prototype. Notably, most yeast-based biosensors are still in the early developmental stage, with only a few prototypes tested for real applications. Open challenges, including systematic use of advanced molecular and biotechnological tools, bioprospecting, and implementation of yeast-based biosensors in electrochemical setup, are discussed to find possible solutions for overcoming bottlenecks and promote real-world application of yeast-based biosensors.

Abstract
Microbial biosensor which integrates different types of microorganisms, such as bacteria, microalgae, fungi, and virus have become suitable technologies to address limitations of conventional analytical methods. The main applications of biosensors include the detection of environmental pollutants, pathogenic bacteria and compounds related to illness, and food quality. Each type of microorganisms possesses advantages and disadvantages with different mechanisms to detect the analytes of interest. Furthermore, there is an increasing trend in genetic modifications for the development of microbial biosensors due to potential for high-throughput analysis and portability. Many review articles have discussed the applications of microbial biosensor, but many of them focusing only about bacterial-based biosensor although other microbes also possess many advantages. Additionally, reviews on the applications of all microbes as biosensor especially viral and microbial fuel cell biosensors are also still limited. Therefore, this review summarizes all the current applications of bacterial-, microalgal-, fungal-, viral-based biosensor in regard to environmental, food, and medical-related applications. The underlying mechanism of each microbes to detect the analytes are also discussed. Additionally, microbial fuel cell biosensors which have great potential in the future are also discussed. Although many advantageous microbial-based biosensors have been discovered, other areas such as forensic detection, early detection of bacteria or virus species that can lead to pandemics, and others still need further investigation. With that said, microbial-based biosensors have promising potential for vast applications where the biosensing performance of various microorganisms are presented in this review along with future perspectives to resolve problems related on microbial biosensors.

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 possibility of the developing a biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) biosensor based on electroactive biofilms of activated sludge grown on the surface of a graphite-paste electrode modified with carbon nanotubes was studied. A complex of microscopic methods controlled biofilm formation: optical microscopy with phase contrast, scanning electron microscopy, and laser confocal microscopy. The features of charge transfer in the obtained electroactive biofilms were studied using the methods of cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The rate constant of the interaction of microorganisms with the extracellular electron carrier (0.79 ± 0.03 dm3(g s)-1) and the heterogeneous rate constant of electron transfer (0.34 ± 0.02 cm s-1) were determined using the cyclic voltammetry method. These results revealed that the modification of the carbon nanotubes' (CNT) electrode surface makes it possible to create electroactive biofilms. An analysis of the metrological and analytical characteristics of the created biosensors showed that the lower limit of the biosensor based on an electroactive biofilm of activated sludge is 0.41 mgO2/dm3, which makes it possible to analyze almost any water sample. Analysis of 12 surface water samples showed a high correlation (R2 = 0.99) with the results of the standard method for determining biochemical oxygen demand.

Modified Nanodiamonds as a Means of Polymer Surface Functionalization. From Fouling Suppression to Biosensor Design. NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11112980.

Abstract
The development of different methods for tuning surface properties is currently of great interest. The presented work is devoted to the use of modified nanodiamonds to control the wetting and biological fouling of polymers using optical sensors as an example. We have shown that, depending on the type of modification and the amount of nanodiamonds, the surface of the same fluorinated polymer can have both bactericidal properties and, on the contrary, good adhesion to the biomaterial. The precise control of wetting and biofouling properties of the surface was achieved by the optimization of the modified nanodiamonds thermal anchoring conditions. In vitro and in vivo tests have shown that the fixation of amine functional groups leads to inhibition of biological activity, while the presence of a large number of polar groups of mixed composition (amide and acid chloride) promotes adhesion of the biomaterial and allows one to create a biosensor on-site. A comprehensive study made it possible to establish that in the first 5 days the observed biosensor response is provided by cells adhered to the surface due to the cell wall interaction. On the 7th day, the cells are fixed by means of the polysaccharide matrix, which provides much better retention on the surface and a noticeably greater response to substrate injections. Nevertheless, it is important to note that even 1.5 h of incubation is sufficient for the formation of the reliable bioreceptor on the surface with the modified nanodiamonds. The approach demonstrated in this work makes it possible to easily and quickly isolate the microbiome on the surface of the sensor and perform the necessary studies of its substrate specificity or resistance to toxic effects.

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
The marine yeast Debaryomyces hansenii is of high importance in the food, chemical, and medical industries. D. hansenii is also a popular model for studying molecular mechanisms of halo- and osmotolerance. The absence of genome editing technologies hampers D. hansenii research and limits its biotechnological application. We developed novel and efficient single- and dual-guide CRISPR systems for markerless genome editing of D. hansenii. The single-guide system allows high-efficiency (up to 95%) mutation of genes or regulatory elements. The dual-guide system is applicable for efficient deletion of genomic loci. We used these tools to study transcriptional regulation of the 26S proteasome, an ATP-dependent protease complex whose proper function is vital for all cells and organisms. We developed a genetic approach to control the activity of the 26S proteasome by deregulation of its essential subunits. The mutant strains were sensitive to geno- and proteotoxic stresses as well as high salinity and osmolarity, suggesting a contribution of the proteasome to the extremophilic properties of D. hansenii. The developed CRISPR systems allow efficient D. hansenii genome engineering, providing a genetic way to control proteasome activity, and should advance applications of this yeast.

Use of biocompatible redox-active polymers based on carbon nanotubes and modified organic matrices for development of a highly sensitive BOD biosensor. Enzyme Microb Technol 2020; 143:109706. [PMID: 33375974 DOI: 10.1016/j.enzmictec.2020.109706] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2020] [Revised: 10/26/2020] [Accepted: 11/12/2020] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
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
In order to improve the practicality of the rapid biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) method, a highly sensitive rapid detection method for BOD that is based on establishing the correlation between current and dissolved oxygen (DO) was developed. In this experiment, Bacillus subtilis was used as the test microorganism, and the embedding method was used to achieve quantitative fixation of microorganisms, which could increase the content of microorganisms and prolong the service life of the biological element. The conductivity (COND) probe is used as a sensing element, so that the testing value can be read every second. In the program, the moving average method is used to process the collected data so that the value can be read every minute. National standard samples were detected to test the accuracy and stability of the method. The results showed that relative error and analytical standard deviations were less than 5%. Different polluted water was tested to evaluate its application range. The results showed that relative error was less than 5%. The results of the method are consistent with the results of the wastewater sample obtained by the BOD5 standard method. The proposed rapid BOD current sensing biosensor method should be promising in practical application of wastewater monitoring.

Abstract
Environmental pollution has been a continuous threat to sustainable development and global well-being. It has become a significant concern worldwide to combat the ecological crisis using low-cost innovative technologies. Biological oxygen demand (BOD) is a key indicator to comprehend the quality of water to guarantee environmental safety and human health; however, none of the present technologies are capable of online monitoring of the water at the source. Microbial fuel cells (MFC) are a promising technology for simultaneous power generation and wastewater treatment. MFCs have also been shown in fascinating applications to measure and detect the toxic pollutants present in wastewater. These are the bioreactors where exoelectrogenic microorganisms catalyze the conversion of the inherent chemical energy stored in organic compounds to electrical energy. Sensors employ energy conversion to measure BOD, which is considered an international index for the detection of organic material load present in wastewater. The MFC-based BOD sensors have gone through a wide range of advancement from mediator to mediator-less, double chamber to single-chamber, and large size to miniature. There have been detailed studies to improve the accuracy and reproducibility of the sensors for commercial applications. Additionally, multistage MFC-based BOD biosensors and miniature MFC-BOD sensors have also been ubiquitous in recent years. A considerable amount of work has been carried out to improve the performance of these devices by fabricating the proton exchange membranes and altering catalysts at the cathode. However, there remains a dearth for the fabrication of the devices in aspects like suitable microbes, proton exchange membranes, and cheaper catalysts for cathodes for effective real-time monitoring of wastewater. In this review, an extensive study has been carried out on various MFC-based BOD sensors. The efficiency and drawbacks associated with the different MFC-based BOD sensors have been critically evaluated, and future perspectives for their development have been investigated. The breadth of work compiled in this review will accelerate further research in MFC-based BOD biosensors. It will be of great importance to broad ranges of scientific research and industry.

Abstract
This study for the first time proposed a method for simultaneously measuring BOD and nitrate in water using electrochemically active bacteria. Firstly, the bidirectional extracellular electron transfer (EET) capability of a model electricigen Shewanella loihica PV-4 was revealed. Then, based on the respective outward and inward EET, S. loihica PV-4 was utilized to detection BOD and nitrate. The results demonstrated a positive correlation between the outward EET and BOD (from 0 mg/L to 435 mg/L) while a negative correlation between the inward EET and nitrate (from 0 mg/L to 7 mg/L); both the relationships were well fitted by the combination of traditional linear model and Michaelis-Menten model (R2>0.96). Finally, a dual detection method for BOD and nitrate measurements was established based on the ano-cathodophilic capability of S. loihica PV-4 biofilm, and exhibited the characteristics of high accuracy (>80%) and fast analysis (<1h), suggesting a promising prospect in water monitoring.

Abstract
This work demonstrated a simple, low-cost, rapid, and effective biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) estimation system based on a packed-bed bioreactor that can be easily self-built on-site at a particular wastewater treatment plant for continuous monitoring of the influent and effluent. The use of natural microbial consortium that were collected from the target wastewater and immobilized on a cheap porous carrier simply by adhesion resulted in an acceptable accuracy of over 95%. The newly developed semi-continuous operating mode with peak-type signals was shown to be able to continuously estimate BOD at a high flow rate to overcome the flow dependence of the oxygen electrode, limit clogging issues, enhance the response time, and lower the limit of detection. The resulting packed-bed bioreactors could work continuously for 22 h with a coefficient of variance (CoV) of only 1.8% or for 13 h a day for several days with a maximum CoV of 1.4% and their response was observed to be stable over 80 consecutive measurements. They exhibited stable responses at a wide pH range of 6.5-8.5, which is also the recommended range for aerobic wastewater treatment, emphasizing the greater ease of use of natural microorganisms for BOD estimation.

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.

A Mediated BOD Biosensor Based on Immobilized B. Subtilis on Three-Dimensional Porous Graphene-Polypyrrole Composite. SENSORS 2017; 17:s17112594.

Abstract
We have developed a novel mediated biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) biosensor based on immobilized Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) on three-dimensional (3D) porous graphene-polypyrrole (rGO-PPy) composite. The 3D porous rGO-PPy composite was prepared using hydrothermal method following with electropolymerization. Then the 3D porous rGO-PPy composite was used as a support for immobilizing negatively charged B. subtilis denoted as rGO-PPy-B through coordination and electrostatic interaction. Further, the prepared rGO-PPy-B was used as a microbial biofilm for establishing a mediated BOD biosensor with ferricyanide as an electronic acceptor. The indirect determination of BOD was performed by electrochemical measuring ferrocyanide generated from a reduced ferricyanide mediator using interdigited ultramicroelectrode array (IUDA) as the working electrode. The experimental results suggested a good linear relationship between the amperometric responses and BOD standard concentrations from 4 to 60 mg/L, with a limit detection of 1.8 mg/L (S/N ≥ 3). The electrochemical measurement of real water samples showed a good agreement with the conventional BOD₅ method, and the good anti-interference as well as the long-term stability were well demonstrated, indicating that the proposed mediated BOD biosensor in this study holds a potential practical application of real water monitoring.
