Communication-Electrochemical Single Nano-Impacts of Electroactive Shewanella Oneidensis Bacteria onto Carbon Ultramicroelectrode
Résumé
Electrochemical single nano-impacts of electroactiveShewanella oneidensisbacteria at a 7 mu m diameter carbon fibre ultramicroelectrode in an aqueous potassium phosphate buffer (pH = 7.2) solution containing a redox active probe (potassium ferro- or ferricyanide) is reported. We present chronoamperometric measurements recorded at the ultramicroelectrode polarized at the potential of the steady-state current of the redox probe in solution (oxidation for K4Fe(CN)(6)or reduction for K3Fe(CN)(6)) in the presence of bacteria. The shape of current transients associated to single bacteria nano-impacts is compared and discussed as a function of the redox probe in solution and of the ultramicroelectrode applied potential.
