ElectrEcoBlu is microbial fuel cell which produces electricity in the presence of selected pollutants providing a suitable system for in situ and on-line monitoring of contamination remediation.

Environmental Biosensor
On-line and in situ monitoring methods which use electrochemical means to measure gene expression in biosensors are of increasing value in the detection of environmentally relevant pollutants. Whole-cell biosensors are ideal for detection of pollutants groundwater and soil as they can be contained in simple, compact mobile equipment (Paitan et al, 2003) and offer a more time-effective and cost-effective monitoring system then their chemical alternatives (Ron, 2007).
