Microbial Biosensors

49
Microbial biosensors are analytical devices that utilize living microbes to detect specific substances through measurable signals. These devices consist of two main components: biosensing organisms and signal-transducing elements. Biosensing organisms, such as Escherichia coli or Saccharomyces cerevisiae, are typically housed in multiwell plates connected to transducers, enabling rapid, real-time detection of target analytes.Signal Generation MechanismWhen a target analyte—such as...

  • Immobilization of a hydrophobic ionic liquid within a CNT network to create a stable three-phase interface.
  • Utilizing efficient oxygen-reduction pathways and in situ generation of reactive oxygen species for inactivation and sensing.

Main Results:

  • Complete electrocatalytic inactivation of *Escherichia coli* (*E. coli*) and *Staphylococcus aureus* (*S. aureus*) up to 109 CFU/mL at -0.6 V and 0.1 mA cm-2.
  • Real-time quantitative detection of *E. coli* over a linear range of 0-107 CFU/mL using cyclic voltammetry.
  • Demonstrated good reproducibility for both inactivation and sensing functions.

Conclusions:

  • The developed nanoelectrochemical platform offers an efficient, low-energy, and byproduct-free strategy for pathogen inactivation.
