Optimization of Phage-Based Magnetoelastic Biosensor Performance

Huang S., Yang H., Johnson M., Wan J., Chen I., Petrenko V.A., Chin B.A., Auburn University, US

A magnetoelastic (ME) platform coated with a bio-molecular recognition element (bacteriophage) for selective and specific recognition of Bacillus anthracis spores is described. ME materials have a mass-sensitive, characteristic, resonant frequency. In response to the binding [...]

Simultaneous Detection of Salmonella typhimurium and Bacillus anthracis Spores Using Phage-Based Magnetoelastic Biosensors

Huang S., Yang H., Johnson M., Chen I., Petrenko V.A., Chin B.A., Auburn University, US

Deliberate contamination of the food supply has become a concern, Salmonella typhimurium and Bacillus anthracis spores being primary pathogens of interest. The objective of this research was to investigate simultaneous detection of these two biological [...]

Nanofabrication of Bioselective Materials using Diverse Nanolandscapes Displayed on Live Viruses

Petrenko V.A., Olsen E.V., Sykora J.C., Kouzmitcheva G.A., Sorokulova I.B., Brigati J.R., Chen I-H., Chin B.A., Vodyanoy V.J., Auburn University, US

Filamentous phage, such as fd used in this study, are thread-shaped bacterial viruses. Their outer coat is a tube formed by thousands equal copies of the major coat protein pVIII (Figure 1, left). We constructed [...]
