Abstract

It is an arduous task to detect the traces of heavy metals in real environmental samples. In this paper, the use of micro-organisms as bioreceptors and the merits of nanobeads’ (NBs) properties are combined to develop a novel electrochemical biosensor based on nanocomposite films. The whole Escherichia. coli cells were fixed onto a surface of indium-tin-oxide glass with and without NBs and/or polyelectrolyte multilayers. In addition, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique, mercury was used to detect.
