Currently, a large spectrum of microbial biosensors have been developed that enable the monitoring of pollutants by measuring light, fluorescence, colour or electric current and electrochemical signal [60]. A recent study [19] shows that whole-cell biosensors based on the detection of changes in gene...

Microbial biosensors have been developed based on key hydrocarbon degradation pathways. These biosensors can be used as tools to examine the regulation of the degradation pathways. In addition to the use of empirically derived data from laboratory studies, a selective meta-analysis of published data from literature sources using catabolic hydrocarbon biosensors was conducted. The aim of this work was to demonstrate that biosensor specific QSARs may be developed to first assess the specificity of degradation pathways and then to assess the possibility of predicting analyte-specific degradation characteristics. 

Microbial biosensors are well suited to producing rapid and highly reliable data for simple modeling, allowing large numbers of chemicals to be tested. This is ideal for the requirements of QSAR modeling.
