Assembly and application of photosystem ii-based biosensors for large scale environmental screening of specific herbicides and heavy metals

Objective

This project aims at:
1) The realisation of sensitive and stable biosensors based on isolated photo system II (PSII) for the detection of herbicides and heavy metal.
2) By screening of a large number of photosynthetic organisms and genetic engineering, production of PSII bio mediators able to distinguish the various subclasses of herbicides and heavy metals.
3) Realisation of new-sophisticated transudation systems based on printed electrodes chemiluminescence’s and fluorescence as well as alternative systems.
4) Development of miniaturised ("smart") biosensor prototypes and special software to monitor the information deriving from the mutated PSII bio mediators.
5) Practical on site application of the biosensors in a mobile unit for environmental screening under real operational conditions, i.e. leak-water from land fills and ground/river waters.
6) Contribution toward spins offs and commercialisation.
