Abstract
From a proposal of a microbial Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) biosensor by Karube et al. in 1977, components (recognition elements, transducer, etc.) have so far been developed from various perspectives such as microbiology and material engineering. As a result, recent progresses in biosensors have resulted in high sensitivity, compact body, and a wide spectrum of targets. Furthermore, self-powered microbial BOD biosensors are currently developed as independent devices even when electric power is not supplied. In this section, recent progress and development in microbial BOD biosensors are summarized based on actual reports on microbial BOD biosensors.
