TL;DR: A review of bacterial cell-based biosensors for the detection of bioavailable Cadmium (Cd) and the bioremediation of toxic Cd by natural or genetically-engineered bacteria is presented in this article.
Abstract: Cadmium (Cd) pollution has become a global environmental issue because Cd gets easily accumulated and translocated in the food chain, threatening human health. Considering the detrimental effects and non-biodegradability of environmental Cd, this is an urgent issue that needs to be addressed through the development of robust, cost-effective, and eco-friendly green routes for monitoring and remediating toxic levels of Cd. This article attempts to review various bacterial approaches toward biosensing and bioremediation of Cd in the environment. This review focuses on the recent development of bacterial cell-based biosensors for the detection of bioavailable Cd and the bioremediation of toxic Cd by natural or genetically-engineered bacteria. The present limitations and future perspectives of these available bacterial approaches are outlined. New trends for integrating synthetic biology and metabolic engineering into the design of bacterial biosensors and bioadsorbers are additionally highlighted.
