Development of a Biosensor for Environmental Monitoring Based on Microalgae Immobilized in Silica Hydrogels
A new biosensor was designed for the assessment of aquatic environment quality. Three microalgae were used as toxicity bioindicators: Chlorella vulgaris, Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. These microalgae were immobilized in alginate and silica hydrogels in a two step pr...
