Smart Multiplexed Biosensor Interfaces for Seaweed Environmental Monitoring Applications
Keywords:
Seaweed, Multiplexed biosensors, Environmental monitoring, Marine biotechnology, Bioelectronics, Nanomaterials, IoMTAbstract
Seaweeds are integral to marine ecosystems, serving as primary producers, carbon sinks, and environmental bioindicators. Their physiology and productivity are strongly influenced by abiotic stressors such as nutrient availability, temperature fluctuations, heavy metal contamination, and pH shifts. Traditional monitoring techniques are limited in real-time resolution and multiplexed detection capacity.
Recent innovations in smart multiplexed biosensor interfaces have enabled simultaneous detection of multiple biomarkers and environmental parameters in seaweed systems. These platforms integrate electrochemical biosensors, nanomaterial enhancements, and wireless bioelectronic modules, providing robust, portable, and scalable solutions for marine monitoring. This paper reviews advances in biosensor design, highlights applications in seaweed aquaculture and marine ecosystem management, and discusses challenges in large-scale deployment. The integration of multiplexed biosensors with data analytics and Internet of Marine Things (IoMT) systems is emphasized as a transformative pathway for sustainable ocean monitoring.
