Impedimetric biosensor based on cell-mediated bioimprinted films for bacterial detection.

This work presents the synthesis of bacteria-mediated bioimprinted films for selective bacterial detection. Marine pathogen sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) were chosen as the template bacteria. Chitosan (CS) doped with reduced graphene sheets (RGSs) was electrodeposited on an indium tin oxide electrode, and the resulting RGSs-CS hybrid film served as a platform for bacterial attachment. The electrodeposition conditions were optimized to obtain RGSs-CS hybrid films with excellent electrochemical performance. A layer of nonconductive CS film was deposited to embed the pathogen, and acetone was used to wash away the bacterial templates. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was performed to characterize the stepwise modification process and monitor the SRB population. Faradic impedance measurements revealed that the charge transfer resistance (R(ct)) increased with increased SRB concentration. A linear relationship between ΔR(ct) and the logarithm of SRB concentration was obtained within the concentration range of 1.0×10(4)cfum L(-1) to 1.0×10(8)cfum L(-1). The impedimetric sensor showed good selectivity towards SRB based on size and shape. Hence, selectivity for bacterial detection can be improved if the bioimprinting technique is combined with other bio-recognition elements.
