Agarase-based bacterial biosensor for detection of cadmium in environmental samples

Key Points

• Detection of cadmium in environmental samples was effective using an agarase-based biosensor, providing promising outcomes.
• The biosensor demonstrated a detection limit of 50 µg/L for cadmium, indicating its sensitivity and practical applicability.
• Analysis of samples from various environments confirmed the reliability of the biosensor under different conditions.
• These findings highlight the potential for microbial analysis tools to monitor toxic metals in real-time effectively.
