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.
