概要 The microbial biosensor makes it possible to measure the analyte as a quick, simple, and convenient method. Since Dr. Isao Karube (1942–2020) succeeded in the practical use of the first microbial biosensor for biochemical oxygen demand monitoring in 1983, many kinds of microbial biosensors for environmental monitoring have been studied and developed. To date, various improvements have been made to microbial biosensors in terms of, e.g., sensitivity, reproducibility, stability, specificity, and portability. Especially in the last decade, new and improved techniques have successfully been applied to microbial biosensor developments such as 3D printing for chip/cell/array or device fabrication, genetic engineering for microbial modification, materials science for microbial immobilization or signal detection, new techniques for transducer development, etc.

On the other hand, the global environment is becoming worse year by year, including climate change due to global warming. If we want humanity to survive, we have an obligation to transform our world—which is why in 2015, the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit adopted “The 2030 Agenda” and “The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)”. In this agenda, there are several goals that microbial biosensors are able to contribute to achieving, such as “conservation of water and soil resources”, “preservation of food safety”, etc.
