“…Terrorists are using biological agents as opposed to chemical agents since smaller amounts o f biological agent are needed compared to chemical to achieve the same effect (Sheeran, 2002). Biological agents are relatively easy to manufacture without highly 1 sophisticated labs or expertise and they can be easily shipped without being detected.…”

“…Microbial biosensor is an analytical device which developed by immobilization of microorganism(s) onto physical transducer to generate a measurable signal proportional to the concentration of analytes [107,144]. Microbial biosensors have been applied in numerous fields including medicine, environmental monitoring, defense, food processing and safety [24,61].…”

The biosensors are devices that receive the biological message and convert it into a sensible electrical signal. The biosensing involves a combination of biological entities like DNA, RNA, and proteins/enzymes to the electrochemical transducers. Biosensors comprise a biorecognition element (enzyme, antigen, antibody or nucleic) that mediates selective biocatalysis or specific binding of analyte and transducers that able to measure the signal. There are several types of biosensors being employed today, such as optical, surface plasmon resonance, enzymes, DNA, Phage, and microbial biosensors. Now days biosensor technologies have been employed in biomedicine, food safety standards, defense and environmental monitoring. Detection of the lower or higher limits of glucose in the body, microbial invasion in the body and food, heavy metal detection in soil, water and airborne microbes, pesticides in water and soil and various harmful chemicals produced by body, can be easily and timely monitored with high precision using the different types of biosensors. Biosensors can overcome all the limitation of the traditional methods of chemical and microbiological analyses by offering rapid, non-destructive and affordable methods for quality control. Thus, this review paper highlights biosensor and its components, types of biosensors and its application in different disciplines.
