We demonstrate that our bio-electrochemical platform facilitates the reduction of detection time from the 3-day period of the existing tests to 15 min. Machine learning and robotized bioanalytical platforms require the principles such as hydrogel-based actuators for fast and easy analysis of bioactive analytes. Bacteria are fragile and environmentally sensitive microorganisms that require a special environment to support their lifecycles during analytical tests. Here, we develop a bio-electrochemical platform based on the soft hydrogel/eutectic gallium-indium alloy interface for the detection of and bacteria in various mediums. The soft hydrogel-based device is capable to support bacteria' viability during detection time. Current-voltage data are used for multilayer perceptron algorithm training. The multilayer perceptron model is capable of detecting bacterial concentrations in the 10 to 10 cfu/mL range of the culture medium or in the dairy products with high accuracy (94%). Such a fast and easy biodetection is extremely important for food and agriculture industries and biomedical and environmental science.

Electrosynthesis is an emerging research direction for greener and more efficient chemical synthesis. Although heterogeneous catalysis efficiency can be improved by tuning electrode surface properties, electrocatalysts frequently fall short of producing chiral molecules with high purity and minimized side reactions. Enzymes are superior catalysts with lower activation barriers.

The presence of antibiotics in water environments, dairy products, foods, and beverages is a cause for concern due to its contribution to antimicrobial resistance, which possesses a significant challenge to healthcare management. In line with sustainability development goals, there is a need for rapid and selective methods to detect antibiotics in food. In this study, aptamer immobilized graphitic carbon nitride/reduced graphene oxide (g-CN/rGO) nanocomposite modified electrodes have been developed as a platform technology for bio-electrochemical detection.

The concentration variation of luteinizing hormone (LH) regulates the cell cycle of oocyte meiosis and significantly affect the whole reproductive cycle. Sensitively quantifying the LH biomarker therefore plays an important role for reproductive disease diagnosis. By coupling a new low background catalytic redox recycling strategy with hybridization chain reaction (HCR), we propose a highly sensitive bio-electrochemical aptamer LH sensing method.

Understanding electron transport with electroactive microbes is key to engineering effective and scalable bio-electrochemical technologies. Much of this electron transfer occurs through small-molecule flavin mediators that perform one-electron transfers in abiotic systems but concerted two-electron transfer in biological systems, rendering abiotic systems less efficient. To boost efficiency, the principles guiding flavin electron transfer must be elucidated, necessitating a tunable system.

Herein, we describe a novel method for producing cadmium-selenide nanoparticles (CdSe NPs) with controlled size using apoferritin as a bionanoreactor triggered by local pH change at the electrode/solution interface. Apoferritin is known for its reversible self-assembly at alkaline pH. The pH change is induced electrochemically by reducing O through the application of sufficiently negative voltages and bioelectrochemically through O reduction catalyzed by laccase, co-immobilized with apoferritin on the electrode surface.
