Supramolecular scaffolds on glass slides as sugar based rewritable sensors for bacteria

Abstract

We describe here the sugar functionalized β-cyclodextrin-ferrocene glass slides as fully reversible bacterial biosensors under the influence of external adamantane carboxylic acid. The prototype d-mannose - E. coli ORN 178 and l-fucose - P. aeruginosa interactions serve as a model to illustrate the new approach.
