New Pub Alert! Selective bioelectronic sensing of pharmacologically relevant quinones using extracellular electron transfer in Lactiplantibacillus plantarum

Congratulations to Siliang, Carol, and Joe for their recent publication in Biosensors and Bioelectronics! They developed a whole-cell bioelectronic sensor that can sense 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid within seconds and is capable of continuous monitoring. In a simulated gut environment, the sensor was selective for relevant quinones and they present a predictive multivariate model to describe the mechanism. This platform has significant application for environmental monitoring and human health. Read the paper here.
