“Research on the use of microbial biosensors for monitoring wastewater contaminants is a
topic that covers few publications compared to their applicability in other fields, such as biomedical
research. For this reason, a systematic analysis of the topic was carried out, for which research-type
articles were reviewed during the period 2012 to September 2022. For this, different search platforms
were used, including PubMed, ScienceDirect, Springer Link, and Scopus, and through the use of
search equations a relevant bibliography was located. After that, the research articles were selected
based on exclusion criteria. As a result, it was found that, of the 126 articles, only 16 articles were
strictly related to the topic, since there was a duplication of articles among the different databases.
It was possible to demonstrate the usefulness of microorganisms as components of biosensors to
monitor BOD, heavy metals, and inorganic contaminants in wastewater that also had a high sensitivity.
Additionally, recombinant DNA techniques were shown to improve the performance of this type
of biosensor and can finally be coupled to other emerging technologies, such as microbial fuel cells
(MFCs). In conclusion, it was established that microbial biosensors have high acceptability and
monitoring characteristics that make them a useful tool to detect low concentrations of pollutants in
wastewater that can also provide results in real-time, thus generating forms of ecological safety and
social responsibility in companies where wastewater is generated.“
