Abstract

The findings toward the detection of cylindrospermopsin in drinking water were presented. Recent evidence suggests that cyanobacteria imposes potential chronic health implications when exposed to low doses for a long term. The development biosensor capable of detecting cyanobacteria in drinking water was also described. It was found that the DNA-enhanced corrosion of the pores increases the sensitivity of the biosensor which enabled to detect the desired analytes at very low concentrations.
