“…In addition, the most important properties of biosensors based on microorganisms include the fact that they are able not only to detect pollutants in samples, but also often to simultaneously purify these samples, which makes such devices extremely promising for use. Such devices should rather be classified as microbial fuel cell-based biosensors, since by their structure they are often standard MFCs, which perform an additional function—the quantitative determination of pollutants [ 113 ]. Let us take a closer look at each of the classes of compounds that can be determined using microbial biosensors based on biofilms.…”

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.
