While conventional analytical methods such as spectroscopy and chromatography provide high precision, their substantial costs and labor-intensive procedures significantly limit their practical application in routine environmental monitoring. Transcription factor-based whole-cell biosensors represent a promising alternative technology, providing real-time, highly sensitive, and cost-effective detection capabilities for environmental pollutants. This review is a comprehensive examination of the recent advances in transcription factor-based biosensors for detecting heavy metals and aromatic compounds. We also emphasize the molecular mechanisms of diverse TF families and their real-world applications in environmental monitoring. Finally, we summarize the current engineering strategies that are employed to enhance biosensor performance and discuss future directions for improving transcription factor-based biosensors for environmental detection.","PeriodicalId":519986,"journal":{"name":"Biotechnology for the environment","volume":"2 1","pages":"16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12665635/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145663564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Biotechnological approaches have received particular attention due to their potential for enabling sustainable, low-intensity bioprocesses which could also be interfaced with microbial upcycling pathways to support the emerging circular bioeconomy. However, low biodegradation efficiency of solid plastic materials remains a bottleneck, especially at mesophilic conditions required for one-pot degradation and upcycling. A promising strategy used in nature to address this is localisation of plastic-degrading microbes to the plastic surface via biofilm-mediated surface association. This review highlights progress and opportunities in leveraging these naturally occurring mechanisms of biofilm formation and other cell-surface adhesion biotechnologies to co-localise engineered cells to plastic surfaces. We further discuss examples of combining these approaches with extracellular expression of plastic-degrading enzymes to accelerate plastic degradation. Additionally, we review this topic in the context of nano- and microplastics bioremediation and their removal from wastewater and finally propose future research directions for this nascent field.","PeriodicalId":519986,"journal":{"name":"Biotechnology for the environment","volume":"1 1","pages":"7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11256910/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141725478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
