A whole-cell microalgal-cyanobacterial array biosensor was successfully developed for monitoring acute metal toxicity in water systems. Biosensor organisms respond to metals within 10 minutes’ exposure. Survival potential of the biosensor organisms was higher at high pH. Biosensor was viable throughout 8 weeks of storage at 4 °C.
