Biofilms form complex structures that are ubiquitous in natural environments and can cause
chronic infections which are difficult to treat. While much is known about biofilms, many …

Oxygen plays a central role in aerobic metabolism, and while many approaches have been
developed to measure oxygen concentration in biological environments over time …

Flash nanoprecipitation (FNP) is an efficient and scalable nanoparticle synthesis method
that has not previously been applied to nanosensor fabrication. Current nanosensor …

Cellular respiration is a fundamental feature of metabolic activity and oxygen consumption
can be considered as a reliable indicator of bacterial aerobic respiration, including for …

We developed a ratiometric oxygen-sensitive nanosensor and demonstrated application in
monitoring metabolic oxygen consumption in microbial samples over time. Based on a near …

Ionophore-based nanosensors (IBNS) are tools that enable quantification of analytes in
complex chemical and biological systems. IBNS methodology is adopted from that of bulk …

The formation and persistence of microbial biofilms play an important role in infection and
the biofouling of the environment. In order to eradicate these complex structures, further …
