A new biosensor was designed for the assessment of aquatic environment quality. Three
microalgae were used as toxicity bioindicators: Chlorella vulgaris, Pseudokirchneriella …

An optical biosensor for the determination of environmental impurities of water based on
immobilized living algae cells was developed. The measuring principle was the …

A new biosensor is constructed for the detection of some herbicides based on kinetic
measurements of chlorophyll-a fluorescence in Chlorella vulgaris cells. The microalgae are …

A multiple-strain algal biosensor was constructed for the detection of herbicides inhibiting
photosynthesis. Nine different microalgal strains were immobilised on an array biochip using …

Thin layers and patterned dot arrays of sodium alginate containing living microalgal cells
were deposited onto glass carriers which were subsequently gelled using amino …

Pesticides represent a significant source of contamination for urban and suburban surface,
ground and seawaters. Whole-cell algal biosensors are sensitive, cheap and adaptable …

Lagoons and coastal waters are contaminated by a large number of chemicals discharged
directly or carried by rivers and runoff water that drain catchment areas in which agricultural …

Three microalgal species (Dictyosphaerium chlorelloides (Dc), Scenedesmus intermedius
(Si) and Scenedesmus sp.(Ss)) were encapsulated in silicate sol–gel matrices and the …

Fighting against water pollution requires the ability to detect pollutants for example
herbicides or heavy metals. Micro-algae that live in marine and fresh water offer a versatile …

An optical biosensor was designed for determination of herbicides as aquatic contaminants.
Detection was obtained with immobilised Chlorella vulgaris microalgae entrapped on a …
